Today I bring you a Battlefield melee animations video! I have compiled all melee animations for the knives, clubs, and "heavy weapons" (saber, shovel, pickaxe, hatchet), as well as rifle bayonets. Along with the first person perspective, I also included 3rd person and victim views as well.
NOTE: To avoid any confusion, the standing and crouchin...

there's one in V where you just strangle the mf

#

but it's quite rare

sullen forge
#

Oh you're saying like Takedown anims where if you stab them with a knife in the front you'd bury it and then fucking twist it before pulling it out

#

shit like that from 1/V

#

Also its hilarious how loud footsteps are in BF like you can clearly hear them behind you

I just have to rebind it to play like that

Were you trying to play first person

#

Yeah

Don’t

In general

There are planes where it’s nearly impossible

I didnt know project wingman had a third person option

Can games add this more...

She does not deserve what I do to her during engagements

#

Also this is propaganda for classic Flak AA

cause the fuck is a Jet going to do when 50,000 rounds are flying directly at them

obsidian prairie
#

Dodge all of them

#

Apparently

frosty herald
#

i also got it wrong

it was ace combat in third person

It's pretty shit because of the cap

Im not a fan of the moveset

#

Maybe its time to pursue devil claw

full nebula
#

The mark 7 tac axe is good if you treat it like a knife and use the special and push attack a lot

obsidian prairie
#

Tac axe is just knife with flipped single target and CC

#

It’s fast, has good dodges, and a great push

#

It just does insanely good horde clear instead of really good single target

full nebula
#

And it has mobility on repeat heavies while sprinting like knife too

#

It has good single target still, just takes an extra hit or two depending on the enemy

#

Do like heavies with the special attack and it'll 2-3 shot crushers normally

Sell the knife and get a taxe or crusher

Trying to knife up a crowd isn't smart..

both are still poking heads, the other one just has little bit of cleave to it

least u didnt get yeeted thru a wall

Cause my ass took the chance with the extreme CQC of the inside sections of the Catwalk instead of the death area of it lmao

Did not help with the massive burster waves that kept spawning

man i always take the inside n ppl act like they dont even know its there

Ugh... I just remembered that I was an idiot in my dark souls 1 playthrough. I tried fighting the stray demon in it for like 3 hours before I realized I needed to be behind it to avoid the explosion attacks better... mashing my face into the brick wall didn't make it move at all. A youtube comment was saying something how they spent like 2 hours on a souls boss... I try to forget that stupidity I did. I won the fight like on the 2nd try when I stopped approaching it from the front

#

That's probably the most embarrasing thing I've done as a gamer x.x

#

I think I tried like 5 or 6 different weapons during that time as well... turns out it wasn't the weapons fault, I was just being a dumbass

Am loving the massive bonk potential of thammer

#

But i miss the able to cloud clear

hearty nebula
#

which mk are you using

placid fiber
#

Do what clad did and ironhelm :\

hearty nebula
#

crucis or ironhelm

placid fiber
#

I am a crucis 100%

#

ironhelm does horde clear better cause the special cleaves

royal cape
#

Cant ironhelm yet. I stopped playing b4 the mastery rework n started fresh

placid fiber
#

the lower damage is only noticeable if you miss a breakpoint against something like a cruisher

royal cape
placid fiber
#

Elite? Probably special heavy or special light for ragers

#

gunners? You can probably special light

#

Or you can heavy 1 and 2 to stagger em

#

Ironhelm doesn't have 3 lights that do the same damage that are pretty nice single target damage all things considered

#

it only has the light 2 of the crucis and a cleave light 1(idk how you are supposed to use it)

royal cape
#

Interesting

placid fiber
#

maybe if the horde is already on you special light to get them off so you have time for a special heavy?

#

You can kill gunners in like 2 lights with the crucis if you get headshots

#

no special needed

#

it would take 2 light 2's on the ironhelm <.<

#

I love the crucis, I am a crucis user and will always be a crucis user

#

ironhelm special stops cleaving through trash if it runs out of cleave or hits an elite/special/monster

royal cape
#

Im trying to be the armor buster
But literally every other vet n arbiter is doing the same thing but w guns
And ignores the chaff completely 😩

placid fiber
#

It does the same damage to an elite hit inside of a horde or just an elite hit iirc with the special heavy

cursive tundra
#

Th issue
By the time you finish charging thrust 3 the target is dead KEKW_ogryn

placid fiber
#

I remember back in the day when you had to light spam for horde clear on the crucis...

placid fiber
#

You don't have to always charge to the 3rd stack of thrust

#

if you know roughly what you need

#

I am a glass half full kind of guy... if the guy I was gonna nuke dies... that means it's not a threat

cursive tundra

if it's not a threat, it won't hit me or my team(except barrels)

Is it me or is defence not valued at all in this game?

minor sigil
#

depends what you mean by defence

#

The weapon stat? Yeah it's not

royal cape
north sedge
#

Nothing significant changes from 60-80, you only need 51 mobility/def to get your max dodges, the rest is very, very minor increases to the associated stats

royal cape
#

So. On curios. What stats should i look for?
Presently i have 7 wounds just bc but im not building for those wound perks

#

And i feel like im always on the back foot in hordes. But thats on me for not prepping to handle them

obsidian prairie
royal cape
obsidian prairie
#

Yeah but why did you take the extra two wounds

#

Just run martyrdom at that point

royal cape
#

Im two levels away before i can perk into it

north sedge
#

Only wounds if marty, otherwise wounds only dictate how many times you can go down. If you don't plan on using marty you want toughness

#

For the minor perks, usually hp toughness gunner resist

obsidian prairie
#

Stam regen replaces hp well

royal cape
#

Noice

#

Gunner resist sounds baller for me ngl. Havent seen any yet tho

spare talon
#

its a substat so you can change it at any time with a bit of mats

royal cape
#

Alr

#

Havent gotten around to specifically choosing perks.
Im assuming its a bit like vermintide where item power helps govern overall damage
But i just recently learned that you can upgrade weapon power, and that i need to watch for any 60-80s

signal spoke
#

All Weapon stats goes at max 80 except for one which will be at 60

#

It is considered as a dump stat

royal cape
#

Yep

placid fiber
#

Especially as frontline characters like zealot and oggy

#

... is arby a front line character or more of an inbetween? They made the arbites class do too well at both >.>'

#

Front? Smash. Back/mid? pray you have a gun that is somewhat accurate lol

#

or just close in with the smaul and shield ig

#

... menacingly...

#

I wanna say arby is a frontline character, but, idk for sure lol

stray summit
void bison
stray summit
#

Either run martyrdom and all of the wounds
Or no extra wounds at all

placid fiber
#

You can also do 2 wounds and 1 toughness on marty as well

#

but otherwise run no wounds if not marty

#

Wounds are a noob trap. They take the place of something that could keep you from going down

#

and going down is the thing you want to avoid as much as you can

#

Cause... if you don't go down... you can't lose

#

Unless dc

royal cape
#

From what ive seen arby favors gun but in med-close

placid fiber
#

I play with the face of a front line focus(forceful + break the line), but, I find myself blasticating shit a lot despite that

#

I really like the boltgun on arby <.<'

Ooooo arby gets boltgun?

Not until after i max level zealot.

The main thing I don't really like about the smaul and shield is the shield kind of is obscuring my vision at times x.x

So I've been trying out the Flamer on my zealot (no where near max level) cause people have been saying its super great, I haven't been seeing those results though and I'm not entirely convinced it isnt just me not having all the stuff for it in terms of blessings. Is there a way to play with it that I need to be thinking about? [Aka I think I'm just bad lmao]

placid fiber

As soon as I saw it had image perms... it was like "who the fuck signed off on this?"

#

then I realized

royal cape

So. Whats the ideal use of a flamer.

cold rose

I think someone here who actually plays zealot than me can explain thst as far I know Flamer has infinite cleave

placid fiber

It is bad on lower difficulties

but god-tier in the highest

It is good against mixed hordes

Play Ogryn for big weapons

And big armor kill

placid fiber

You can use a thammer if you want, but, thammer + flamer = 2 slow weapons x.x

#

Nah nah nah dont play ogryn for big weapons

Do it for ROK

but it does cover the thammer's weaker ends

placid fiber

T-hammer too slow for meee. I do kinda wanna try Dualing sword. Never poked at it much, but if its getting nerfed I might be better off not getting comfortable

I do with the game was a bit better about explaining what the different marks are meant for in relation to the base weapons sometime. Since I only play pretty casually on like.. just getting into 2nd to last difficulty

Like how one of the recon lasguns is super fast sorta things

Gun marks can change their fire rate

I know I had a reason I got a 2nd club on oggy and maxed it out... but idk when I'm ever really gonna care that much about whether mobility or defences is dumped... since one has mobility dumped and one has defences dumped :\

cold rose
#

I'm like... half decent at fighting a mixed horde? I can come out on top most times with only a couple scrapes

placid fiber
#

You gotta learn how to dance

#

dodge, push, hit, slide

#

shoot every now and then on zelly

placid fiber
#

the charge career skill

signal spoke
#

Situational awareness for coming enemies mainly specials too

cold rose
#

Wait we can slide?

#

I have like... 60 hours

signal spoke
#

Yes

cold rose
#

How did I not realize

signal spoke
#

Sprint and slide

#

Omg lol

placid fiber
#

by dodging and then hitting the button to slide(uses 2 dodges)

royal cape
#

Im a casual gamer. My sitch awareness is at permanent minimal

cold rose
signal spoke
#

No

placid fiber
#

No, that's a seperate thing

#

dodge sliding is 2 dodges uses to dodge and then slide

signal spoke
#

But slide allows you t avoid enemy shots

placid fiber
#

sprinting you can slide

#

but enemy attacks will still track you

cold rose
#

Ah I see

signal spoke
#

If you sprint and slide towards shooters you gonna be able to avoid their shots

#

When they flash

placid fiber
#

the only time I dodge slide is when a chaos spawn is trying to grab me

#

otherwise I don't... ever really feel a need to use 2 dodges at once lol

#

I just chain my dodges

signal spoke
#

Or dodge slide to a wall be fast enough not be caught with specials and bursters

cold rose
#

Ah I gottcha. Other than never ever sliding I got the dance down pretty decently to fight a horde, so I should be pretty good lmao

placid fiber
#

btw zealot takes half toughness damage reduction while sliding, dodging, and sprinting

cold rose
#

Yo thats hype

placid fiber
#

we used to take 0% toughness damage while sliding

royal cape
#

Loool

signal spoke
placid fiber
#

oh and you can use chastise to dodge bursters/sniper shots if you time it well

#

cause you're in a dodge state during it

cold rose
#

Yee just gotta get home lmao, but I can't really think of when I'd usually slide. But I've never been great with using slides in videogames

signal spoke
#

When you see gunners and shooter flashing their guns or on current fire suppression, sprint spam

#

Sliding in Darktide is quite simple thankfully

royal cape
#

So. Whats the melee lunge slide i see people doing

placid fiber
royal cape
#

Controller has to tap stam after slide

#

But yeah slide seems to last long enough for stam to start regening

cold rose
#

Does this game have the little like... hitch in movement where you gotta transition from slide to crouch to standing to sprinting most games have?

placid fiber
#

1 sec

signal spoke
#

You don't crouch after sliding if I remember

cold rose
#

I think I explained it good? Its a weird thing to try and mention cause its more of a feeling

signal spoke
#

You still sprinting after sliding

cold rose
#

Ohshit

signal spoke
#

I would boot the game but got rest

cold rose
#

Thats huge, massive even

signal spoke
#

Though enemy suppression and losing momentum can interrupt your sprint

cold rose
#

Also no issue lmao I'm gonna poke around when I get home anyways

placid fiber
#

Here's me sliding a lot, and I do 2 dodge slides at the end which you can see my dodge count to see it uses 2 dodges

cold rose
#

Okay I gottchu

#

Thats nice and fluid. I like that, most games keep you crouching when you slide and it ruins your movement feel

placid fiber
#

as long as you are holding the sprint button you will start sprinting after the slide finishes

cold rose
#

Also that poxhound is mad

signal spoke
#

Sliding is an important key for survival

placid fiber
#

It lets you sneak up on smykers

cold rose

Lmao

cold rose

#

If you don't have hitstun immunity and are hit from a melee while sliding you get hitstunned

signal spoke
cold rose
#

I gottchu on that, I'd expect it then

placid fiber
#

btw thy wrath be swift is hitstun immunity(does not include your block being broken)

signal spoke
#

As Ogryn myself sliding is huge against ranged enemies

cold rose
#

The mental image of an ogryn sliding is hilarious to me

#

I love that

signal spoke
#

It is scary but funny

#

Just slide spam towards a single reaper

signal spoke
#

And bro misses all shots

signal spoke
#

That looked like a dodge slide backwards?

placid fiber
#

Anyway I got some knifegryn to experience!

signal spoke
cold rose
signal spoke
#

For that distance felt like dodge slide back KEKW_ogryn

placid fiber
#

I've actually done that to avoid missing an enemy before x.x

#

Doesn't always work, but, it beats 100% missing

royal cape
#

Is it me or did they nerf the character callout vos?

#

I couldve sworn they used to talk 3x more than they do now

signal spoke
#

They always talk

#

Unless you are always switching tags every second lol

royal cape
#

I mean the passive banter between characters

cold rose

Ohgosh. That reminds me I need to see if I have any zealot cosmetics I like. I never was a great big fan of their overall fashion aesthetic

It might be that im playing campaign
It might also be coherency. People sprinting far and away

At least 95% of my playtime is solid gameplay, I can't say the same for ror2 where like 500 of my 3.6k hours was me saving a run overnight or when I went to work by having the game paused

when you go higher up in diff you'll find that there'll be too much armor for your kraks to take care of eventually

Oh speaking of blitzes

The throwing knives are launched when you press the button right? No ready stance?

minor sigil

yea

cold rose

Tho tbh I'll probably hover in damnation or the difficulty above it

Not really interested in the like... turbo hardcore modes I think

You gotta aim your knife throws though due the small hitbox

Just as long you play and get comfortable with difficulty

To play higher

royal cape

You are, dont worry.
Rando lobbies always gets you one guy’d
Half the fun is getting used to the difficulty

Current mission board much worse with the event lol

Just dont wanna be ruining the game for others is my issue

signal spoke

Have fun with teamkikls

I know games like this get super perfectionist in the higher ranks

royal cape

…i noticed the mission board looks kinda empty
Was wondering if it was bc i was on campaign listings

signal spoke

Havoc would be the place that lot of games will be ruined on random lobbies

#

Lack of team coordination

cold rose
#

I think I just unlocked auric for doing a maelstrom mission? That extra terminal near the elevator

On my.. arby I think

royal cape
signal spoke
#

You probably only got normal maelstrom

cold rose
#

Its whatever that other teminal is

#

The one with the commisar next to it that needs a premade group

signal spoke
#

Oh that Havoc

cold rose
#

Ohhh

signal spoke
#

You get it from level 30 and complete a mael mission

#

Both normal or auric

cold rose
#

Ah I gottchu

signal spoke

But auric skips you to rank 16 havoc

cold rose
signal spoke

It good boost but still easy at that rank

Havoc gets really spicy and crazy at 20+

cold rose
#

Man, and here I am sometimes getting my teeth kicked in on Dam when my squad falls apart

signal spoke
#

If you struggling, probably lower to heresy

cold rose

I like the challenge. And it's not like its every match

Plus I need thrones, I'm a broke boy getting weapons to throw into mastery

It only a matter of time until you finally get used to the feeling and be overwhelmed with hordes while be calm

cold rose

Yeyeeee, its a fun time!

Slowly gettin better by pushing myself

I only play auric and is what I consider the peak of Darktide especially after the new changes

#

Random bullshit go

cold rose
#

Auric is the difficulty after dam right? Excited to get there soon

signal spoke
#

Yes

#

Auric is the same as damnation from enemy stats, health and damage

#

But enemy density is higher

cold rose
signal spoke
#

And Auric has high intensity modifier built in

#

So it spawns further more elites and specials

cold rose

Ohyes. The true vermintide, Drown you under foes experience

True true, this is darktide

They can

dodge into them

Apparently the oggy knocking trash mobs aside when dodging has gotten people killed >.>'

cold rose
#

Huhhhh?

#

I guess it might f with on dodge stuff but even then?

#

Maybe knocking one into someones path and bodyblocking them?

placid fiber
cold rose
placid fiber
#

That's what gets pro players hit the most by snipers/nets... poxwalkers that got knocked over(in general)... making their dodge do nothing

cold rose
#

It makes me so sad that all CC is the worst thing ever in this game

placid fiber
#

And there's a class who's whole identity is cc

cold rose
#

I know ;~; It's the worst

royal cape
#

Wooo pox bomber

Sploot

cold rose
#

I just wanna be a cool dude, not getting flamed cause I fucked up my zealots dodge stuff by accident

placid fiber
#

I've had nobody flame me if I have caused a poxwalker to land in their hitbox with my oggy's dodges since the change

#

I'm also a loot goblin so I am not always up front knocking them into other players

cold rose
#

I've had like 2 people yell at me for accidently fucking them over with CC

#

Once for using my Arbys shield flash and the other for bringing smite to the mission

placid fiber
#

At that point just mute their voice chat

#

If they're going to be toxic over something you can't exactly control

cold rose
#

Yeah it's just lame to have to worry about it at all

placid fiber
#

I don't worry about it

#

I'm here to do 2 things... not die... and kill trappers

placid fiber
#

and have fun of course

#

but especially kill trappers

cold rose

gets netted, sics dog on it

#

Arby is so nice

placid fiber
#

It's probably a good thing that the dog can't remove the net

#

otherwise that would be stupid broken

cold rose
#

Yeah

#

Getting to kill the trapper before it runs off is more than enough for me

placid fiber
#

You already have a way to get hounds off of you with lone wolf if you have the forceful keystone

Plus I can just send my dog to go and chase down a bomber that ran around a corner kek

I take this on all my lone wolf builds cause I'm paranoid <.<'

cold rose

Thats pretty badass acually

Whats the keystone that references again?

adamant will giving hitstun immunity is amazing as well

and the zap dog pounce gives you forceful stacks <.<

cold rose

Yo thats great

Love me some damage resistance

The damage resistance is cool, but, adamant will is the thing that sold me on forceful

I love having that insurance card for when shit goes to hell

Adamant is also good for perfect block

placid fiber

That too

it lets you block burgle slaps

You have a good excuse whenever your teamates watch you eat an overhead by accident at least kek
