The only guys that should be able to one hit you, if your armor/health is well below par, is those hammer guys, but they are really easy to avoid and kill regardless. If you think they are bad, wait until you meet a sniper dog.

Just the Outcast Heavies can do that if you have low armor/hp.

My only issue with NPC melee is that they stagger you and get free follow up damage whereas we don't get any kind of stagger which means no immediate follow up damage.

Should be the opposite since NPC melee does more damage than we do, it's cheap for them to have stagger and KB and difficult to try and stay aware of flanking enemies in especially busy firefights, more so when against Black Tusk.

Well there doing it there super stupid speed Regardless of what the NPCs are doing what there not supposed to be doing is becoming two different animals it’s getting Aggravating

These melee attacks are like little pats on the back compared to TD1 where an npc could take out a whole team with one elbow and had a much bigger hit radius than the hammer guys!!

It’s not easy when your in a firefight have NPCs to watch in 10 different directions

The one hit melee attacks have gotten worse since the last update and there's usually two attackers together now requires a lot of rolling, running and bullets to deal with them.

More cheap AI tactics that should not be in the game. One hit sniper dogs are not an issue if your armor and health are high enough. It takes three shots from one to drop my character, assuming I am not in cover with Patience healing me.

The sledgehammer heavies yes are not an issue, but when two or four spawn at once and come at you, then its an issue. This is still happening and shouldn't, either that, or the damage from the sledge needs to be drastically reduced (again).

No melee attack should take away all of your armor or instantly drop you. Again, these mechanics are cheap and need to be reworked.

NPC Melee damage was decreased across the board with TU3.

Greatly decreased melee damage of all Tank NPCs.
Moderately decreased melee damage of all non-Tank NPCs.

To the OP: what difficulty is this particular activity on when these melee kills are happening?

I am aware of that and it was a seriously needed fix, but you missed the point I was trying to make. Its not enough when two or four sledge hammer heavies spawn in at once. I don't think this scenario was taken into considering when the melee damage was adjusted, an assumption was made that a squad of four would only be dealing with one sledge hammer heavy and that is definitely not the case on many missions.
