I mean I fuck around until I actually find resistance and adjust accordingly. The more they push, the more I push. Seems pretty fair to me
PC "death squads": what's the point?
This is kind of the optimal way to play when you’re actually good at the game. Like with potatoes and kids I dial it way back and fuck around so they can have a full match. If I look at the class list and see Dutches, Dantes or FMs I usually go full tilt.

My philosophy doesnt necessary apply to FT. But it does for Pred, considering how massive of a disadvantage I’m at.
Yeah fair fair.

That’s not what I’m saying??? What I’m saying is it’s bullshit that mele isn’t an option. Obviously I agree that we shouldn’t go melee (I go ranged ofc). Obviously you should be allowed to play without honour, but I think it sucks that if you do you’re 99% going to die
Ik Ik. I think most of you misinterpreted what I was saying. What I meant was; what the devs did was stupid. I use honour only for like shit teams. Otherwise, I don’t of course.
so much honor in “well if I can’t kill you Imma blow everything to hell” … lmao
Yes, yes, and yes
The reason why is because so many players are into roleplay rather than actually playing to win. Remember devs don’t make games to be enjoyable, they make games to sell, if you happen to like it, well, good for you. But they don’t care about the player’s experience when playing, they care of the players desire to purchase the game and milking that DLC.
Melee is not viable on any shooter game. Just like in real life.
The only way melee is viable in this game is if there was any concept of stealth. That’s why melee is effective against dumb AI but nothing else. Even FT bots have x-ray vision for the pred, lmao
Oh my b
Just to clarify for everyone: You should 100% be allowed to range. However, I find it fucing stupid that the Devs made it so that melee means you just get absolutely fucked in the ass the moment you show yourself. I play ranged and half of the time without honour myself because it’s the only way to survive.
alg homie i hope you’re having a wonderful day
Wait I we are talking about illfonic, not devs in general right?
But anyways. I think Melee could easily be viable in a game like this. I mean, it’s not your standard shooter game no? And look at games like Space Marine 2, which has melee as a BIG part of it’s game (then again, horde shooter, but in the pvp it’s very viable as well)
1v1 is ok 1v4 is suicide (Thanks MAss asshole)

Melee works only in very controlled situations. I’ve been playing Amazon Ghost for the better part of the month just to do something different than combi/pistol, and here’s what I’ve found.
Even potatoes with the most braindead playing ability will fuck you up. If its not impact grenade spam its better accuracy due to the new recoil adjustments, or its the fucking minigun or its chasing Pred with the knife with Bane and Heavy Hitter perks. Its stupidly easy to reduce Pred HP thanks to Illfonic’s shit. So you can’t blindly run into a group and start slashing, you can’t really even attack the last guy in formation cuz the others will stop and return fire. And the tracking of your weapon plus FT movement speed plus things like the parry and your weapon’s hitbox will leave you wide open. I’ve found being more patient than aggressive tends to work, let them spread out during an objective and target one to down. If you’re lucky you wont be seen and you can wait for their buddy to come revive them and repeat the process. I always carry a ranged weapon so pistol works the best here; down with your sickle, kill with the pistol. Always be moving. Retreat and caster spam if they start to group up.
Melee really sucks. It can be done but you need to think about it, you can’t rush and you have a lot of potential to get melted from a variety of sources.

fax i been trying to get a win with zerk with axe and its been painful im still at it i only got close one time but the last guy got to the chopper
Don’t use Berserker. Its one of the weakest and slowest classes and takes extra melee damage. I would use the default Hunter class if you dont have or want any of the DLCs, if you do, Amazon for melee, Wolf or Oni for overall balance but better than the default classes. I would also switch to the sickle instead of the axe, smarter players will avoid the heavy axe swing and light you up. Sickle has the fastest animation and has better tracking and can down players pretty fast (if theres no supports).
ye
THIS IS WHAT I MEAN DUDE! Instead of Pistol I use DISK. I hate how Illfonic made it like this of course. Anyways, I beat minigun players in melee, but I’m not sure he was very good.

NGL tho, in almost every recent match, there’s an entire Fireteam gathered up with their knives out using the bug all at once. It’s not even about countering pred melee anymore, they’re all just tryna bumrush.
