melee weapons coming ?

[BigRamsay]

They could always add bayonet type weapons to the arsenal as well. This would encourage melee instead of unloading a full clip.

I suppose they could. But for me personally, which might differ to others, I would rather have a full melee weapon rather than a gun with a blade/other attached to it.

Yes, yes. We need melee weapons so all those cloakers can 1shoting every1.

Yes, yes. We need melee weapons so all those cloakers can 1shoting every1.

I was under the assumption that this was already happening with sawed-off shotguns. The only difference is that once we can use katanas, we'll be able to do it in style.

Edit: not to jack your thread, but I started a discussion topic about the current state of melee damage with very little response. http://forums.defiance.com/showthrea...highlight=blur

Have just seen an item at one of the supplies stations that is listed as Melee - think it was called a 'VOS Spanner' (or something similar). Didn't buy it as the timer ran out and the item changed as I was looking at it.

[Diabolyk]

The spanners are "energy weapons," so to speak. Primary function chains damage to multiple targets, secondary chains a healing beam. What you saw was the melee elemental effect. From my understanding, it acts in a similar way as if you were using a gun with an elemental effect. Of course, with a slower "firing rate," a melee effect isn't going to see as much benefit as, say, an assault rifle with an elemental effect.

[Kantazo]

Oh no, no melee weapons please, this is a TPS no a Korean karate kung Fu game.

[Ne0]

Don't worry, it will remain a TPS, even with Ninjas/Samurais Melee-ing enemies.
I mean look at Hellgate... It's got guns, blades, even summons ...still a Shooter !

[Golgo13]

there are weapon mods that add bayonettes to your weapons that increase melee, also if you find a weapon with passive melee dmg too. plus some of the perks i think apply to melee, its not far fetched.

[Disarmonia]

I'd like to see melee weapons but they need to be done carefully.

Perhaps they could be like a grenade and replace its slot and have a cool down usable every so often. And use the animation that mutants/dark matter use were they pull a knife from there waist and slash you. I think it would be pretty decent and wouldn't allow people to run around slashing everyone up.

loved the Pulverizer...
..would love to see a permanent melee weapon with an AOE ability

for example,
a sword/katana could do a 360 degree slash.
