Melee Weapons Would be Interesting

So I've been having a lot of fun with the Buster Sword in pubs. Which got me to thinking. What if they added a melee weapon to floor loot or CP. Obviously nothing as OP as the Buster, but some other sword or melee that could change the dynamic of close quarter fights. I think it would be a cool concept to test out.

    First, you're right that the buster is busted.

    That said, I came from Halo where swords, brute shots, and hammers were pretty much routine, and I'm also puzzled why there are not more such weapons in this game.

    And also, I need a spnkr.
  • @Lord_Scorpion34I think Melee is already kind of OP. A punch does similar damage to a body hit from a G7. Cosmetically I suppose you could have different weapons (there already are, they are called "heirlooms") but I think having more powerful ones is a terrible idea. The Buster sword was a ridiculous addition and I'd really prefer they don't go down that route. Melee is already pretty powerful.

    @RockDokRock Yes there are heirlooms, but those are purely cosmetic & not accessible to everyone. I've said in the past that they should nerf melee as it does more damage than a P2020 bullet. So they could either nerf punches & give us melee weapons with the same damage as the current punch. Or just give the melee weapons +5 damage. So 35. If they made a CP melee weapon it could be stronger just not near the level of the Buster Sword.

    @Lord_Scorpion34 I'm aware heirlooms are cosmetic, it's not like that's a secret.

    I'm totally against Melee weapons. Punch is OP enough as it is. I hope they don't mess with that.
