Fixing melee: Pole

#1

Many people have expressed the opinion that melee is non viable. I would like to get some feedback from the forum.

Please ignore the fact that melee is bugged right now.

  • Melee is overpowered
  • Melee is balanced
  • Melee is underpowered

If you think melee is underpowered, how do you think it could be improved? Choose as many as you feel apply.

  • Add bleed to all melee weapons
  • Add heavy attacks that cannot be parried to all weapons
  • Add 50% damage penetration to parried attacks
  • Add complete stamina drain for fireteam to parry once
  • Remove parry

I haven’t played since viking dropped so I’m goi g to hold off til I can get a good days worth of playtime in

That said

Maybe Parry for FT should be put in some sort of knife specialist role and include the ability to throw the knife as well

melee is balanced, but i want parry to be removed to balance it more

With all the damage and health buffs for fireteam, getting close to the fireteam is extremely punishing. Even just one or two good players makes melee not worth the risk.

The answer is just make the war club a fully unparryable weapon. So if you want a full melee build you at least have a weapon that can ATTEMPT this. Warclubs tracking is not very good. But the rest of the weapons just leave as is hit and run is just fine. But if someone desperately wants to be full melee (and most likely die) at least there an option to try it

That’s not a bad idea.

Thank you sir. I’ll make a topic and see if we can get some support. Like at this point, why not?? Just give it a try and see if some fun berserker builds can actually be… VIABLE

Maybe parry should only be made available to the last man standing

Parry should be removed! You think a tiny flesh mans arm won’t break to a bulk of a Yautja which is darn near invisible it can take 200 rounds of bullets from a Gatling gun according to Predator one!

People asking for Bleed Damage to all Melee Weapons just want to get carried spamming R2. Let’s be real.

Inb4 “YoU CaN’T sPaM MeLEE vRo.”

What I believe should happen is that the ability to Parry should become a Perk. This handles the overwhelming feeling of “always being parried” and can even provide a gamble to just running in like a idiot against 4 FT.

We also already have a level of damage penetration during parries.

Can’t get rid of it now it’s like a core mechanic people would be so salty if they just Straight up remove it

#12

Not unless they were given something to fight the Predator like Yautja tech

#13

Dude… Melee is only broken right now because of the parry crash. Behold the power of melee when the FT don’t cover their asses…

#14

Eldersword doesn’t get crashed on PC in my experience.

#15

Nooo thank you. That would ruin the game for me personally. I want the feel of the original films. Or even the 3rd one (predators) not some comic book.

#16

I think increasing stamina cost significantly as well as some penetration damage would make sense. Parry is absurdly easy to abuse now

Elder hasn’t crashed for me either.

A few things about your video is that these players don’t seem very competent.

  • they use mini guns
  • they almost never parried you
  • they didn’t hit you with cooked grenades
  • the last clip where you actually got parried, the other players just stood there watching
#18

Oh I’d think you disagree knowing they can’t parry you, think of it as a artist knows how to paint not some guy holding the masters brush

#19

Knives should be breakable and can be resuppled by reinforcements and ammo crates. And have gearhead let carry two knives… or just fix the game

We all want that.
