One thing to consider AveryBlue is the Melee attack style. Specifically with regards to a headshot. In general you're more likely to miss with a stab style attack than a swing style attack. You apply your damage to the highest damage dealing part you hit. So basically if you swing diagonally across your screen, I believe this to be the best style attack you're most likely to snag the head. Horizontal swing is next best but still requires vertical alignment. Overhead isn't bad, and then a stab.

Talon style weapons are underrated, they're slower to attack than an actual melee weapon about the same as a bayonet maybe. Rather than poke the target they swing for 136 damage and apply a bleed. Its a diagonal arc so you're likely to snag that headshot but if you don't they basically have to kill you quick because if they run they have to stop to stop their bleed or die.

I got a triple kill with a Windfield talon using melee alone in a very short amount of time. 2 kills were headshots and the last one I hit the guy he started bleeding I started shooting he ran and died on his way out from the bleed.

I got two melee kills with a machete yesterday. Full attack on the body took two hits each time. After the second kill I panicked as I was getting shot at and tried to charge a third guy with it from like forever away and he shot me down like the idiot I was.
