Can your team fix this please? Add a button you don’t have to hold down to equip the knife, a simple quick push should put the knife in your character’s hands.
New Melee button FT
Hold triangle to pull knife
You should read the post before telling me to hold a button. :p
You should make better titles for your topics ;-p
Why? We need a new one.
What do you suggest?
All buttons are mapped out already I think.
One that you don’t have to hold down to equip ofcourse, a simple quick push should be enough.
You don’t hold down any button to equip your primary and secondary weapon, so why should the knife be any different? I’ve died so many times because my character brings back the gun after a parry.
Not only that but if you’re in the process of reloading ammo for a weapon and you choose to hold down for melee to immediate cancel out of ammo reload, and guess what? Not only does it melee ONCE, but it will go back to the weapon you just had in a state that hasn’t seen you reload ammo–which is what it should be but damn is it annoying!
Bumping.
@IllFonic
You guys need to add a new keybind that equips the knife in the hands after a quick push of the button NOT by holding the button down.
I hate when my character brings out the gun again after a parry and i want to run away a bit, with a gun in your hands you run much slower, i’ve been killed so many times because of this and it’s really bothering not to have such a keybind for the knife. I find it hard to believe that nobody has ever thought of this, adding a simple button with this function, all your other weapons and gear requires just a quick push of a button so why not have the same option for the knife?
Why would anyone ever want to go back to holding their gun when a Predator is hitting you in melee range?

I think this is because you’re supposed to parry the Predator, and when it is stunned you continue to fire on it. If it attacks again you parry and repeat. This is my my main parry/melee tactic against Predators. They rush me, I parry the blow then fire my weapon into them, parry, fire, until they either get the hint and disengage or get second winded.
But I get your frustration. I’m on PS4, so I can quick equip my knife with R1 and stick motion because muscle memory knows where knife is slotted. Not sure how custom keys works for PC though.
If a Predator stays on me and i can’t get away then i want to make the secondary strong attack with the knife, i would never want to bring out my gun again after a parry.
Another reason why i want a new button for the knife is because your character makes loud sounds when hitting with the knife, and since you run faster while carrying the knife i wouldn’t want to get exposed to the Predator when switching over to the knife.

The problem with this is if you’re at the end of your ammo count and need to reload, you’re not even given enough time to do this while a predator is striking you.
Once you switch back to the gun after a parry, you’re automatially forced to the reload the weapon because of the gun return(even if you didn’t hit the reload button). I have written a post about this in detail.
The fact that another Melee press will allow you to counter another attack doesn’t get you clear of reloading on ammo and if you happen to strike melee again because you need to it will cancel out of the reload action (again)…This will happen forever, not by your choice, until the predator strikes you down in between.
The scenerio you’ve written makes sort of some sense, but the lack of control of this is infuriating!

Arrow once showed me a trick that could solve your problem!
- Press and Hold V (or other Button for Instant Knife Attacks)
- Quickly hit the Left Mouse Button (the primary attack button) twice.
You pull out the Knife, do 2-3 quick attacks in less than a second and stay on the Knife.
Hard to figure it out, but once you get it dialed in, it is destructive as hell.
I know about that #2 too. I didn’t want to say anything though. This double hit method only works coming after holding a weapon (doesn’t work when just holding the knife). Not sure why though but it does allow you to score 1 instant melee, and one direct melee attack, if not a third.
I would rather actually have a knife hotkey instead because these secret mechanics to me are just accidental. I don’t like that type of programming where error is just that…an error. To me it feels like an exploit kind of like Street Fighter2 freeze move…
and before you know it, its gone out of the game in the next patch.
I’m down for that. We got ‘select weapon 3\4’ btns, but they do nothing. At least one of them can pick up the knife.
Predator should be able to faint attacks to bait a fireteam melee attack and be able to parry that fire team player which would make him fly back, falling on his ass so a pred can follow up on a spear throw or 1 free melee hit…
