    picking up melee weapons in arena

    Is it just me or is the fcv new dawn game not responsive enough when it comes to picking up melee weapons during the arena fight stage? It just seems slow and unresponsive to me. Patch please? Also can a machete or blade be upgraded and equipped to the weapons holster/inventory wheel? (I am on Xbox 1x)

    I don't know if "slow" is the word I'd use, but it certainly requires more accuracy.
    You have to have the crosshair on the weapon for the prompt to appear.
    This also occurs with firearms, not just melee weapons, but the former are bigger and they're not as difficult to pick up.

    The only time it was a problem for me is when a corpse was laying on top of a weapon, but it IS realistic to then have to move the body first. I could pick up any weapon that had nothing laying on top of it though. You just have to be close enough for the prompt to appear and wait until the pickup circle completes.

    My only problem with that melee fight is it was more of a small time fight club than a true arena like in Far Cry 4. I had so many hours of enjoyment out of that arena, and I loved how you had to uses different weapons and they gave you a star rating. I also enjoyed them having tough animals in it and tougher enemies in the last round. You had to stay on the move and pick up throwables and save them for the final round. I also liked that you could use knife throw and other skills to chain attacks. The melee club in this game makes me yawn by comparison.
