@CCbathwater You are correct about the melee thing. You don't get promoted to the next weapon, but the person that you killed via melee, is demoted 1 tier, if memory serves me.

I cant remember about tactical abilities specifically, but I would assume not. Pretty much only kills with the weapons, are what gets you to the next one. I'll have to try to remember to test/confirm this tonight, but I feel like I remember getting kills with Fuze's knuckle cluster, and not being promoted.

In my experience when you damage someone with your gun and then kill them otherwise, you get promoted. For example, a Sheila kill will count if you first damaged the player with your assigned weapon. Ditto for tactical ability kills. Perhaps this is being applied inconsistently, or has changed since the earlier iterations of gun game.. I guess when I have gotten melee kills I just felt happy that I'd demoted them, and didn't even notice I hadn't progressed myself. One thing I am sure of is that you had to first damage the enemy with your assigned weapon.
