The Axe... and why people hate it.

That explains why I use it for every build.

I actually really enjoy the katana. When you learn the rhythm and tracking it’s pretty solid esp for hit and run.

I feel as if the katana is underrated as of late. I still find it a great melee weapon.

I dont really have an issue with it, it’s easy to counter if…

  1. You understand it’s tracking and know that moving out of the way of the strong attack almost always works.
  2. You have a team that knows to shoot the Predator when he’s attacking.

It is without a doubt op, and incredibly easy to cheese. One two-hit combo downs pretty much everyone without much thought, and with the right build you can one-hit players not running defense perks. That’s why it’s not a very respectable weapon choice… but man is it fun when you don’t wanna put in any effort.

How do you use the katana because everytime i use it I die in the first fight.

Even if your calculations and the numbers are correct it’s still only a theory, a “what-if” event. In practice it’s not overpowered.
You could say the same thing about all 4 Fireteam players, if all of them bring the SAWS and if everyone hits the Predator with their 2 first bullets the Pred will get second winded or killed, and will never be able to even get within 100m of the Fireteam.

Testing out weapon damage together with your friend in a private match is a completely different story than playing an actual match against other players.

I use it in a more hit run type method. I normally run a down range build while using the Katana.

Because it’s kind of game breaking, I use it when I’m in a bad mood and playing clash or when my entire team drops and it’s one versus four, but the Predator should have to use tactics to win, as reality breaking of this it is for someone to survive and overhead axe to the face, one shotting your opponent is not really very honorable or challenging for the boyz

Ngl i dont really use katana. Constantly find myself missing FT even on private matches when they stand still. Maybe its bugged, idk

It’s hilarious to me how noone mentioned that axe is actually bugged, so even when you miss that dmg is gonna stack with the next hit you land.

You miss with the heavy but connect with the light attack right after and you’re gonna deal over 150 dmg.

I got one shotted like this recently and I had 150 HP with OWLF perk. I avoided the heavy but dude caught me with the light attack and I went down instantly.

So until that shit is fixed, all those “testings” don’t mean jack shit.

I understand the argument you’re attempting to make.

Unfortunately, there are only two variables here, the character build and landing a Heavy Attack. My numbers are definite, it’s not like there’s a chance you’ll do partial melee damage.

You ask this as the audio bug is going on year two of going unfixed. I hope you also haven’t forgotten how long it took to fix the bow bug.

I used the axe before it was cool. Its the most brutal and satisfying melee weapon in the game and I love it. Fuck your feelings.

True, but they have fixed bugs. I was watching my old video…


…and I realized:
  • most of the problems with headquarters were fixed
  • I don’t see the T-pose glitch anymore
  • obviously, katana fixed
  • Scout post sprint Damage works
  • I’ve had no problems with reinforcements
  • mud up glitches are gone

Most of the aesthetic bugs are still there, but, overall, they’re definitely making progress. Unfortunately, it’s just at a snail’s pace.
