Favourite melee weapon

(SirSwag) #1

Just wondering what melee weapon people prefer. Which ones do you have the most success with or feel better to use?

(Mister__Wiggles) #2

Cricket bat for me, although your movement speed is penalised with it I still personally prefer it over the other options.

I love the beckhill, some people call it the worst knife but I disagree it has the fastest swing speed making it the most melee oriented melee.
I also hate gibing with the stiletto because you need to crouch for a 100% gib chance and the cricket bat just impairs my movement speed which I don’t like.
Then again I’m playing kushwanker and my main loadout with him has the cricket bat, for the moment.
EDIT: got a C82 in swiss red so time to use the stiletto.

Never really use melee, maybe when we start seeing more and more options I’ll have a favourite. Until then it’s the cricket bat since that’s what my primary loadout has.

Beckhill, just because of RedEye.

Martyrdom, I’m not sure why it counts as melee but it’s it’s great, especially against Phantoms who never seem to learn :slight_smile:

Mine is the Stiletto. If you time it right, it can kill pretty fast, and it gives you a lot of speed.

(Fleshpound) #8

Depends. Knifes,if i want to be “Gonna kill fast”,Katana for range and Cricket Bat for dmg.

Stabbidy, Stabby, Sta… BOOM!
I love when that happens :smiley:

Katana And Kukri

I love using the beckhill on Kira. They can’t touch me.

(ludicrousBlast) #12

Katana and beckhill. Katana has really good range compared to the rest of the knives, but the lunge attack has a really stupid hitbox timer, and the beckhill is good because with gibbing you don’t have to crouch or get right up in their face.

Beckhill has speed + decent damage. Bat is great too, good range and heavy damage. I also liked the Stiletto before the nerfs, now I don’t really care for it.

(frolicsomeCrane) #14

Chopper perk.

It counts right?

(XavienX) #15

After the katana nerf, I 100% prefer cricket bat.

(Fiktio) #16

Katana.

I’m playing with Phantom most of the time, so using katana is also familiar for me.
When ever I change to play with another merc, sometimes I forget that I don’t have a katana and I try to stab someone from a bit longer distance. Of course it won’t work and I have to get closer.

“Knife too short, please buff!”

Favourite: Kukri. Looks nice. Nice animation. Good damage. Terrible hitreg (at least in my hands)
Most useful:Beckhill. I have it on my Redeye with Quick Slash and Chopper. Its absolutely godlike if you can pop a smoke in a cluster of enemies and launch yourself into them and carve them all up.

Moved this to the weapons discussion forums :slight_smile:

I love the Cricket bat. Watching it bob around while running is quite entertaining.

Cricket Bat, cause every once in a while you kill someone nearby with explosives (or while they’re airborne), and you can sprint to their flying body and finish them in midair with a cricket bat swing.

And oh my is it satisfying.
