The axe is still very broken right now and it doesn’t seem like it will ever get fixed. Did they intend to nerf it? It has almost no range and is just very awkward, somewhat like the Kukri. It was perfect upon release. Probably one of the most reliable melee weapons. Then the update on September 4th broke it. I believe this might have happened because they fixed the clipping issue it had sometimes? Not sure. Anyone have any insight on this?
Was Javelin's Combat Axe nerfed?

we might need to talk to the people on reddit to shout for melee fix

Melee has been getting progressively more and more buggy with each update for a long time now.
I highly doubt it’s intentional. The axe did need a nerf, which they gave to it in the form of a size reduction. Only they ended up breaking it completely along with that nerf.
Atm, the beckhill is the best, the bat and batons are slightly buggy, the katana and stilnotto are slightly more buggy but not by much, and the kukri and axe are boarderline unusable.

They’re probably hoping we forget about it. I liked Javelin’s axe more than her rocket launcher. I wish for the old axe to return and the kukri made just like it, because as it is now, the kurkri sometimes feel like it has the range of the stiletto.
