Dedicated melee option

[Artvisitor]

Yes, you can use the hammer (or pickaxe) but they are very clunky, require two slow hits and are only available to two classes. Considering how low ttk is I don't think it would break the game to include some sort of knife (maybe with different skins later) or tomahawk/machete that would either kill in one (slow) hit, two fast hits or one hit to the head. Make it a button prompt or force people to forego one gadget slot to equip it if you think it's too powerful. I understand that animations and melee executions are hard to include and would probably look awkward anyway but adding a proper melee weapon should not be too difficult.

Why bother including skins for kills for the hammer then? One way or another, if enough people ask for it they might at least consider it. Not having shotguns is kinda understandable as they are usually either absolutely busted or useless but I don't think that melee would bring any balance issues. Just give us something better as a wepon than a hammer but with no utility.

Or why not with melee weapons you also get the option to parry any atack with almost anything you have on hand, like your own gun or any other melee weapon if you react on time, i think melee combat can be something for stealth playstyle or CQB combat, and adding a way to fight back when you cant shoot properly or when reloading can somehow be a good addition, but idk i haven't played yet but i like to watch some recordings of the game, just something it came to my mind

I would feel robbed if I saw somebody just scratch me with a knife while I am dumping a 249 into him yet I died and he lived, probably why we won't get melee weapons, because they are either useless or cheese. use your weapon and don't run out of ammo, not the *hardest* balance in the world, though they should give resupply drops the ability to resupply lost mags for those that are impatient.
