Melee vs Range

#21

in addition to combistick headshots not killing, thematically its dumb af you hit a downed player in the chest/neck/head then have to physically pick up the stick and get shot at to go throw it again because they’re still not dead, id accept that for support but downed player hp seems way worse in general with field medic existing.
I understand the amount of hits required for bow, but can combisticks niche atleast be for executing downed players? Or wrist launcher? Anything at all lmao. Illfonic has no concept of niches everythings just direct upgrades and they keep releasing reskinned warclubs.

Like we’re DBD now where you down a player, let their friend get them up so you can down them again, repeat like its mandatory you grind them for xp.
Just dumb weird from a gameplay flow perspective. Like playing avp2010 and instead of killing a thrown combistick knocks people down for half the dmg.

Yeah. It’s lower like 121. The thing that makes it feel intimidating in the right hands is you feel stuck. Your forced to fight with a parry or shoot, but running is not an option, and if you fall under about 70 health, your one accurate toss away from going down. Also, there’s always the chance that a single throw can damage multiple Fireteam members.

I think that executing downed players is a bad mechanic. I still feel like the quick claims are too quick, but at least you can punish the predator enough to make them heal most times. Executing down players from range will just lead to Dead fire team players that quit, because they don’t want to watch their teammates in third person, rather than actually play the game themselves getting knocked down and getting back up multiple times until they actually feel that a permanent death is earned.

Also, field medic needs its own nerf. Like double the current time it takes to revive.

Their response would just be hahaha so anyway I started blasting

You still use the combistick, right? I remember you being pretty good with it when playing as fireteam against you.

Thank you for the kind words. If I equip it’s for the throw. I used to be good at fucking around with the timing to not get parried. Been using the sword more now for the hit and run bleed. Do miss the combi though.
