So when is knifing gona be fixed?Today i crossbowed a guy and knifed him like 6 damned times before he finaly droped dead.Whole times i was like AAAAAAAAAAA FFS DIE DIE COME ON YOU GOTA BE KIDDING ME DIE ALREADY luckly for me he was bad shot but ffs wtf.More i play my stalker fit more issues i see with melee in this game its just ridiculous.
are you using one of the one hit knifes? They behave different, than normal knifes. a normal knife is instant damage. but the forceblades aktually need to touch your oponent. so it's not that that easy to hit a moving target with it- (jumping during the knife animation helps)
Medkits don't help against knives. Knives do 500 damage minimum and ignore nanoweave. So you will die from a single knife swing even with full health, unless HA with overshields. Med kits could help in combo with resist shield.
From what I understand it goes like this: Normal knives and OHK knives have the same range on screen when slashing. OHK knives are slower when quick-knifing but the same speed when holding. When holding, both knives have a much smaller range both in horizontal range and actual range. They also face a lot of bad hit-detection, where even non-moving targets that are perfectly in your range are impossible to hit.
Yeah i have been testing it and it seems something is wrong with hit detection at times.Sometimes i creep behind the guy and knife him and nothing happens and sometimes i'm like face to face and nothing (thats also when i experience a lot when you swing at someone that your arm is going through a guy and you get no hit.
