Defibrillator Posted December 28, 2018 Posted December 28, 2018 Hi, I was checking dmr and dog ear's stun dmg per shot cuz i was tryin to stun my frnd using it. Then i stumbled upon this. Did we have melee weps? I thought the knife was jus an aesthetic. Is this somethn like devlar or bunny shield or nekrova alone content? 1
Frosi Posted December 28, 2018 Posted December 28, 2018 (edited) Melee weapons were planned back in the day but I believe they had issues balancing them. Getting corner popped by a guy with a baseball bat and being beaten to death doesn't sound like all that much fun either Edited December 28, 2018 by Frosi
Rade Posted December 28, 2018 Posted December 28, 2018 Yes APB does have a melee weapon, it's the blow torch. 1

owzzy Posted December 28, 2018 Posted December 28, 2018 Technically vehicles are melee weapons cause you are holding them with your hands.
Zolerox Posted December 28, 2018 Posted December 28, 2018 (edited) This "backstabber" medal was in the game for some time but Blowtorch never triggered it. It was patched out a while ago under g1's rule (no we never had actual melee weapons it was planned but never made it) Edited December 28, 2018 by Zolerox 1
vsb Posted December 28, 2018 Posted December 28, 2018 there was never any melee weapons in the live version, the devs tested the mechanic and decided against it because it doesn’t make much sense to chase a guy around with a bat when you can just shoot them in the face with your gun
Genobee Posted December 29, 2018 Posted December 29, 2018 (edited) Oooooold stuff that never made it even close to release during the RTW days. It was horribly broken mechanically (bugs galore!) and just plain not worth it. Plus the reasons above kinda outline why it's just a rather pointless thing for them to bother with.

Jazeker Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 People forget too easy. IIRC the idea was: running out of ammo --> melee. With ammo being in shorter supply than what we have now. And like, today we don't even need to visit the Joker Ammo Machine to resupply anymore. TBH it wasn't really that stupid as it sounds today because the game was different. Still it was sort of silly and got removed. :) 2 2

iTzBlackout Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 I would like to see melee weapons. And its great that there are already animations for that. There could be different models like knifes, base ball bats, batons - maybe even tradable versions or simple event rewards. Could be a project after UE4.0... but on other side im not sure how well that works in APB. If everyone jumping around like crazy and things like that...

Xegethra Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 It would be annoying to have a bat or something only to get shot cus you had the wrong weapon. However, as a novelty they could make throwable knives that act much like the 8 ball and half brick. Melee weapons could be used if fight club ever gets a melee rules mode. But in action districts they don't really seem feasible.
Snubnose Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 yes. only now I notice how the sledge hammer and fire axe got mixed up LUL
