    Meele attack needs an Overhaul

    You do 10 damage.
    While NPCs do 2 million damage +

    1. They need to replace Melee Attack with a knock back - that kicks them in the chest causing them to fall down.
    2. Except for Heavies \ Tanks and Robots which would be immune.
    3. Also Instantly destroys all gear Turrets \ Medkits \ Blacktusk grenades.


    Being able to instantly destroy gear like turrets and medkits makes tank builds extremely useful to shutdown heavy CC.
    So even if their damage is low - they usefulness is extremely high.

    Yep. I emptied a full magazine into a 'red' and it didn't drop him. As I reloaded he ran the 100y or so in less than a second, melee'd me and knocked all of my armour (1.2M) off and about 50% of my health too.

    I just like how we be having knives hanging off our backpacks but would rather Pistol whip for 12 instead.

    Hey All,

    Thanks for bringing this up, I'll forward the suggestion to the team
    I too agree that 10 DMG isn't enough when in close combat with the enemy!

    How about finding out exactly who entered the "10" in the line of coding next to "Melee" and politely ask him if he's missing 5 zero's.............

    If you could speak to the team about the AI getting so in our face with the shield we can’t see a thing that would be great. Was the same with D3. Ask who ever created the shield to play test it to see how bad an experience it is. Thanks.

    at the very least, if we arent going to be able to do any kind of damage our melee should have an effective stagger.

    This made me laugh just because it made me remember something from the other day.

    I was running around with my clan and we attacked a elite territory control. We have a guy who runs a super high armor built and a shield to try and mitigate some of the insane damage of the NPCs

    Anyhow this Black Tusk Medic drops down from overheard and just starts wailing on him, he is in a corner and is stuck, he is on Discord yelling help and we are all shooting the crap out of the Medic. The medic didn't care about anything expect beating the crap out of our friend. It was so hilarious to see. Oh and the Medic won.
