Re: Why are we almost 20 seasons in & I can punch ppl while holding gun?

@DaDeDimson

Yup. This is a button mapping issue. It happened to me regularly for the first four or five seasons until I finally dove into the setup menu and moved the melee function to a button on another planet where there was no danger I could ever hit it in any circumstance, accidentally or intentionally. Smooth sailing ever since.

    Stress makes it easy to fat-finger the right stick.  Consider re-binding your melee elsewhere.  Button Puncher is one fairly popular controller scheme preset.  If you're in barrel-stuffing range and have already done sufficient damage, melee is sometimes the way to go - a very quick 30 damage.
