Melee Damage needs to be toned down.

Two punches and 100 health gone and you are dead.

I think it should be at least 3 punches.

Toning it down to 35 points per punch would work.

Thats my 2 cents :-)

    It takes 4 punches to down someone, then another 4 punches to finish them. 8 punches  does not need toning down, if anything they need buffing some! 

  • Ironically the buff the the 35 he was suggesting might be good lol

  • Then how am I when first landing being punched twice and being downed.

    I swear I have also punched someone twice when first landing and downed them.

    Maybe its changed since the weekend, which was when i last played.

    Its possibly a bug because a friend was one shotted from a punch when we landed the other day. Only happened the once though  

  • Also bare in mind its possible to be punched by a second player from behind while you duel someone without noticing sometimes.

  • I wonder if punching someone has a HeadShot multiplier, that would possibly explain the two punch knockdown.

    It doesn't. Still just 30dmg. Either you encountered a bug, got shot without you noticing it and then double tapped with punches or you got double teamed without seeing the other person. 

    Did you actually see '50' dmg indicator when punching the dude? And maybe his health was already lower?

  • No, I didnt see the damage indicator.

    I think you are correct, I possibly encountered a bug.
