Take the Auto Knife Out of the Game!

This is an old thread, I will re-lock it now but feel free to create a new topic, thanks.

I hate it. I am going to sue if not removed from BF6 and 2042, when I get a heart attack.

I change knife buttons and it still comes out in proximity, using Xbox controllers.

I have the same problem. And it’s not pushing too hard on the button or any of the nonsense that ppl have suggested. 

its legit someone pushes u etc and for no reason you pull a knife axe whatever the… 

im sure its a setting issue but im to lazy to go through the settings 😂

@Ironhead841I think that's the one with the bipod attachment. 🤣

Ahh I see, something to look forward to then 😂

WTF is the deal with the automatic knife.  That thing deploys all the time.  Any weapon, any distance, as soon as i see a guy, it changes from weapon to melee.  This has been a problem since the first battlefield and i can't believe it hasn't been fixed.  Shooting someone with a SMG without using scope, just pulling the trigger; it will stop, get the knife, shooting someone with a sniper rifle a mile away; it changes to melee.  What a joke, trying to stab a guy 500 feet away.  IT code reviews, walk throughs & system testing must have really changed since I worked with EDS.

At least the Knife is an edged weapon and takes skill.  It has a severe weapon drop.  one has to target and theyre limited on number of attack.

Smooth Plastic on the other hand takes no aiming, has no skill associated with it, and kills instantly.

Only time I can remember this happening to me is when I'm being too heavy-thumbed with the right stick. Usually a panic reaction when someone jumps me and I'm quickly trying to aim at them.

It's most likely this, to be honest.

There is no such thing as an auto melee in BF2042.
