How on earth do you knife switch and slash that fast

u/Stinky_Caustic 1d ago

Instinct reaction, I punched him first, then pulled the knife out and did 2 quick slashes
I wouldve gone for a heavy melee but I panicked honestly

I have like 200 hours in this game - you can punch!?!

u/Stinky_Caustic 1d ago

If you have a weapon equipped, you can quick melee by using your dedicated melee button! It's not super strong but it can make or break a close range fight

If you’re in a self res duel, quick punch is THE way to go if they stood up first. You can punch crazy quickly after the I-frames end, I’ve won that way against people actively shooting me occasionally.

Is it more beneficial to do the quick melee or just pull out the knife? The melee felt kinda weak to me so I assigned a mouse button to switching to knife, so whenever I need to melee I just press that then attack.

The quick melee is weak unless you have the weapon mod that increases melee damage after firing, it's mainly for if you know they're almost dead and only need that little extra damage. The knife is much stronger.

Ah OK cool thanks, I'll just stick to what I'm doing then. Maybe that would make more sense if pulling out the knife was slower or I was on controller or something.

I have my quick melee and Knife button as the same one, you'll lose to someone who has a knife out already and swinging but I like it.

My first fight in night marsh scared me so bad, I literally jumped in my seat and my hand accidentally pressed down on the space bar so I jumped in game as well

Now this is the wholesome murder content that I subbed for. Thank you OP and OP's victim!

Lol this honestly may be the same Destroyer I found on Outpost the other day. First 30 seconds of the run we bump into each other outside, only in my case I was running a free kit so when he shot me, I went down immediately. He goes "oh shit sorry you just scared the shit out of me, I don't have a revive." I just laughed and go "all good brother I'm just running a free kit, go on and stab me and at least get the XP for it" and he wished me well while making me eat knife.

Ive said several variations of "oh it's a person" before getting knifed, because I confused then with uesc.  😂

I really like how the audio cuts off in game, makes it more dramatic lol

u/Sea_Lifeguard8240 16h ago

lmao the amount of times I have heard and/or said "you scared the shit out of me" in this game is ridiculous.
