@DrWizardoI'm not sure it is as effective as punching.
I notice that when someone punches you, they lunge at you, like the netcode is trying to reconcile their location on your machine after the server said the punch landed, and your machine has to catch up and fast.
I also notice that when you get punched, you get tossed pretty good distance, sort of to give you some room to run and not get punched again, or is it to help the netcode reconciliation in some way...
I would rather toss a grenade and run than stand and shoot with that thing.
Where does it shine? In the toilet.
Literally.
In the toilet in KC, where regularly 4 or 5 squads land on top of each other, and if you can get it, you might be able to knock someone in a punching match with another squad from a safe distance.
But I don't play in toilets.
