This whole parry thing is getting old. Could we go between and say after 3-5 parrys their knife breaks depending on the weapon or some shit? Theres no reason for close combat anymore when a straggler veers off from the party. Ur pretty much left to only play far range. Thoughts?
Should knifes break?

Then how would you make melee viable?
Use a netgun?

Unless I can hold both the net gun and a melee weapon, melee isn’t viable.
Melee will never be viable vs a good fireteam. Because pred isn’t viable vs a good fireteam.
Netgun + wristblades.

Lol I play fire team usually and I love it but I dont use it 24/7 because ik how broken it is. If I can parry you then stab you while ur pred is like woah what just happened. Guess what… I can keep spamming it because ik the game will let me do it again and not take any damage. I think parrying was ment for your team to get more hits in or to make the pred run away. Not to let you have a chance to solo a pred lol
So the only melee only weapon to use is wristblades? That means melee weapons aren’t viable. And making melee weapons take up a slot only to be useless isn’t viable.
Key word team… these past few games have been Me going after a straggler that veered off by him self. I could net him… I’ve been having to do that lately but the thread still stands a 1v1 shouldn’t be a chance of me almost getting downed.

No. You just need to learn to play better and not just melee attack the fireteam. I bet you shout, “oh that’s bull shit!” every time your attacks get blocked and you die shortly after.
It’s not the melee that is a problem. it’s you as an inexperienced player.
Jesus dude please read the post I shouldn’t have to play 80 % of the game far ranged unless the team is actually good and staying together. Why are you flipping shit and calling trash

Man, I read your post. You’re not the first or even second person I have heard wanting that. The other two were players that were sore losers and started swearing at my friends and I as we used teamwork to kick their asses.
The more people complain over stupid things like this, the more the game will spiral into a steaming pile of shit because Illfonic will listen and nerf things. Should we assume the knife should break after hitting heavily armored AIs too? Heavily armored AIs that now deal less damage but will break your knife. Sounds about right.
Nope you can throw the combistick, so not a wasted slot. Elder swords first lunge is easy to parry too. Melee basically doesnt work unless you’re stabbing the person in the back.

Half the people on this site read like 10 words from a post and ignore the rest of the post. Just to claim that person is garbage get good. Blah blah lol did I say I go down ? Or that I’m dieing every game? Noo I’m saying a 1v1 shouldn’t be a close game for a pred lol I get I can net him then go in for the kill but why though… my post is about the knife being able to parry stab parry… its ridiculous so a human can swing a faster than a pred after the parry and still have time to parry again. That’s all I’m saying enough with the fucking god damb name calling and calling garbage.
Lmao why are you getting parried and still swinging with no stamina? Deserved to get outplayed if you don’t change your strategy.

Ok well thanks for reading and jumping to conclusions. I’m just trying to understand why they’re allowed to swing and still have time to parry again. That’s it
Agreed for that situation but my argument still stands. But you brought to my attention something else. Why cant the fire team Lose stamina from parrys and stabbing? If they do, then the same should affect them.
Exactly, you can throw it, so its not a melee only weapon.
