Dedicated Melee Slot

[keen parcel]

Add a dedicated slot for the sledge/pickaxe. Makes it so everyone has destruction and kill options at all times. You're never entirely defenseless, and you've always got options to move around the map destruction wise.

If you were worried about people destroying the whole map, make it so only some classes have access to the sledge specifically. Every class should at least have the pickaxe though.

I'd also settle for a kick button.

I'm necro-ing this post because I think it'd basically solve the C4 destruction issue

Like, you can take away C4 from most classes but keep destruction if you just give every class a melee weapon slot. It just makes sense imo.

If you're worried like - like I said above - just give some classes access to the sledge for better melee destruction and others access only to the pickaxe or something similar.

Necromancy

I would accept a necromancy slot as a compromise

[rain vigil]

It could make a killing focused melee that trades the ability to destroy stuff but is better at killing than the pickaxe and sledgehammer

This actually isnt a bad idea

You can either choose lethality over destruction and vice versa

[rain vigil]

I would go for a route of making one that kills you in one shot but the intervals to swing is longer and you are a bit slower when equipping it
It could be busted on apartments were the only way to access it is trough a rope though

[solemn wagon]

it wouldnt make a difference is there is sb waiting with a fal or a pickaxe on top of the rope

Good point

Bump

[long ridge]

Quick melee is slated to be added to the game at some point. Also bumping a thread will get it locked. 🫡 rip the "oki dont casualize" thread

[keen parcel]

Eh, I bumped it because it was being talked about in another thread

[humble cypress]

You can just link to it, then there's no bumping

😠

Stop being reasonable
