Dev confirmed that all melee weapons run as fast as or faster than any other choice of weapon.

EDIT: Read the post I made below showing the confirmation you stupid fucks.


(1AGRESSOR) #5

well they can say it but that is not my experience


(Ghosthree3) #6

You’re literally arguing with the people with the the code telling them the literal numbers.


(1AGRESSOR) #7

well few days ago dev from BLR told me that their game does not have and never had certain file but i proved him wrong with a video which he confirmed later so…

all of my bookmarked servers got deleted after phoenix update
star used for bookmarking is also bugged
century’s are bugged and sometime like on bridge at chapel can cause instant death

I’m sorry but I literally have no idea what you’re trying to tell us in half these posts.

What about running with abilities? Are they made to be as fast as whatever knife you have or can running with them be faster than with a knife?

I don’t see why you’d bookmark servers, given that community servers don’t exist yet.
Sentries are fine, unless you’re referring to the mounted MGs.
What are you trying to say on the last one?

UPDATE: Edited some of the melee weapons run speeds due to source error/update.

Running speeds are as follows -

Melee weapons
Beckhill Combat Knife: 100%
Stilnotto Stiletto: 100%
Cricket Bat: 97.5%
Katana: 97.5%
Kukri Knife: 97.5%

Secondary Guns
ALL Pistols: 97.5%
Tolen MP: 95%
MP-400: 95%
Empire-9: 90%
(I believe those are the only secondaries)

So as you can see, melee option isn’t always the fastest. For more info on other running speeds, go to: http://dirtybomb.gamepedia.com/WeaponStats

The stats here were provided by the dev team themselves (primarily, Smooth).

@Faraleth https://www.reddit.com/r/Dirtybomb/comments/3eao2b/psa_pistols_and_light_machine_pistols_are_faster/ctd6g4w

[quote=“SmoothUK”]The Wiki needs updating as the Cricket Bat and Katana are 97.5%, same as semi-auto Pistols.

Machine Pistols are 95%. Melee weapons are still always the fastest (or equal fastest) weapon to run with.[/quote]
EDIT: Unless that wiki has been updated since Smooth made that post - 23 July 2015 - it’s outdated and wrong.

EDIT2: Main thread has OP updating his post, https://www.reddit.com/r/Dirtybomb/comments/3eao2b/psa_pistols_and_light_machine_pistols_are_faster/

Well…I feel like a idiot now for running with my knife out.


(Ghosthree3) #17

See my follow up post, also read that as % of max speed. So knives are 100% of max speed, you weren’t ever wrong to run with a knife no matter what source you read.


(frolicsomeCrane) #18

Actually, if you have a cricket bat, or katana equipped, it’s faster to run with your secondary out, pistol/smg, than actually with your melee weapon out.


(Ghosthree3) #19

Can you guys read the rest of the fucking thread. A dev confirmed that is not true and the wiki is outdated.


(neverplayseriou) #20

Why would you run with your katana out? I always run with my ability (number 4) to look like a retard trying to grab the air xD
