Melee Weapons

[CosmosJ]

Devs should consider adding some melee weapons into the game. Sure melee combat isnt something you want to get into while playing the game. Especially not with automatons. But it would be cool if you carried around a big sword for example. And you would use that instead of punching enemies with your weapon.

Swords are for Automatons.

I will need to you step right here, Sir. This shuttle is inbound to the nearest Democracy Officer Center. Have a nice stay.

wasn't there a sword in HD1? No reason why it shouldn't be in HD2. Could lead to some very fun moments.

Why do Automatons use swords?
Is it because it looks cool as sh*t and scary as hell when those chainsaw hands are swinging around your head.
The little guys with dagger hands.. not so much.

Rather than a sword I would suggest a dress sword and pistol combo.
Goes in your pistol slot. Basically the starting pistol, takes slightly longer to draw and reload. The sword held in the off hand replaces the pistol melee animation, has longer reach, and does more damage.

Sorry, but while that sounds cool in theory but in practice it'll just get people even more reason to complain as people run into a horde of bugs with a sword only to get killed. It'd look cool, but that's all it would be. You'd get kicked for having one, guaranteed.

As Frank Castle would put it:

If you're too close to shoot, I reckon you're too close period.

I meant it as you would have another slot specifically for melee weapons so they wouldnt limit what you in any way.

And I know the use for melee weapons as of right now would be very limited or situational. Maybe you could have a small knife that you could use when performing a stealth kill. But i dont think many players have such a play style.

Maybe in the future, but I do agree it wouldnt work right now

You really don't want to be in melee range with bugs
And bots

The end of your rifle butt is your weapon, soldier. It's hard and it's blunt. Press F to use. No heavy thinking required.
