So I noticed that there was a bit of well a lack in melee in this game so I came up with a few of ideas for new melee weapons including merc exclusive ones.
Karambit
- All merc
- Less damage then stiletto but more swing speed (kind of between beckhill and stiletto)
- Speed is 100%
I just love the look of this knife, it looks badass and I can definitely see it in this game.
I basically want it to act like a normal knife that is between the beckhill and stiletto not better not worse then the two.
Sledgehammer
- Rhino
- 100 damage on regular and 200 lounge (keep reading don’t worry)
- speed will be increased by 0.1 then the deagle
So yeah it sound OP but it’s swing speed is slow, the slowest swing speed in the game infact I found it to balance it a bit and it is also rhino exclusive and rhino doesn’t use melee that much anyway so I found that is the way to balance it.
Axe
- Fragger
- Same damage as kukri and katana but faster swing speed then then these two (since when is this game realistic anyway
- speed will be faster than kukri but slower than katana
Could be just me but Fragger resembles a lumberjack a bit so I feel like an axe is perfect for him.
Yes he was in the army so a more army like melee could be better but the beckhill is pretty military like and the Karambit also.
Butterfly knife
- Sparks
- less damage then stiletto and beckhill
- 110% speed
Considering sparks is fast enough as it is it is really one of the only redeeming factors in my opinion so making the speed better is gonna be something interesting.
As for why I picked a butterfly knife that is because I picture here gentle and a trained killer in the same time (kind of weird I know) so that is why.
Note: This melee is something I feel is not balanced I tried to think about how to balance it but didn’t found anyway
Torch
- Stoker
- Speed is the same as cricket bat
Yeah Stoker is unreleased and all but I think this will be perfect for him, reason I didn’t include damage is because this is a real special one, it is a blunt weapon that doesn’t do that much damage (about 40 for lounge) but his special thing is that it has an after burn effect that takes about 10HP per second.
Note: This melee is something I feel is not balanced I tried to think about how to balance it but didn’t found anyway
Bonesaw
- Sawbones
- Same damage as bat
- speed is faster then bat but swings slower
Cmon I had to include this, this melee has been wanted a part of the community for a pretty long time from what I know so nothing special really from what I said already
Duel scalpels
- Phoenix
- Speed is 110%
- Damage is less then both stiletto and beckhill
He was a surgeon OK! also swing speed is faster than beckhill.
Note: This melee is something I feel is not balanced I tried to think about how to balance it but didn’t found anyway
Hammer
- Bushwhacker
- Really just a reskin of the cricket bat
He is an engineer so I feel a hammer is a tool that most resembles people of his type (yes he is a tech engineer but I don’t fucking know what tool resembles them)
Chair
- John Cena
Ok this is a joke that I loved so included it in it isn’t serious really.
Exploding grenade
- Nader
- Same speed as cricket bat
- Damage is high AF
Most closely resembles the “Ullapool Caber” from TF2.
Explodes on impact and deals damage to both you and the enemy (splash damage is on for this thing)
It also is a one time use and then it is basically does same damage as stiletto just slower run speed.
So I ran out of ideas, how about you suggest more ideas below aswell as talk about ways to balance these weapons better.
I also expect tl;dr’s roaming around
