@@thebonemaker3309 silly

yeah it also depends on ping, it is usually better to do it in advance rather than time it perfectly.

@@BlackWolfJa yeah but it really makes reactive fighting hard. Swing to stagger a warrior and get a claw in the face THEN he slides away lol

English is clearly not his first language, maybe don’t be a dbag.

@@ConfusedGuy101 i know, but it's kinda pointless xd

you definitely can. I believe the damage is the same, they just have different animations. The expendable anti tank one is really funny, it gives violent smacks with the tube XD

why so salty?

@@BlackWolfJa it makes no sense people dont know how to melee and need a in-depth guide to do it. just playing one hour you can figure this stuff out. everyone is so reliant of ytbers to do anything, or looking for “guns tier list” or “best load-out” like bro just play the game.

@@paparoach3071 i think it's because most people don't know there is a melee feature in the first place (i myself found out after several hours) and when they do find out, they try it, see it's kinda useless and never use it again. Hence the video

@@BlackWolfJa how do you play a game like this and not think/expect melee? that seriously makes no sense. all games have melee especially shooters. is this everyones first video game? like you proved my point of why im so salty. thats just ignorance.

I always go in deep when I play games, and I actually never thought of smacking hunters when they jump! Tnx man, nice direct video👊🔥 Also didnt think u could melee commanders out of that charge, good stuff n tnx again🤙

I'll respond here since it's much quicker if it's a brood commander, shooting the legs is very useful to lower its healthpoints since all weapons will deal full damage, i usually shoot it with guns that hurt a lot like shotguns or LMGs. Same happens with the back legs of a HiveGuard, though most times it isn't really worth it, as for warriors, just focus the head or the main body, shooting the legs off won't make much difference. One thing i noticed though is that shooting the legs off of Hunters will force them into a limping state and will also prevent them from pouncing, literally just cripples them. Stalkers can't lose their legs (i wish tho) and spewers can but it's honestly just faster to kill them rather than removing their legs since the game will spawn SO MANY of them when they're in the pool.

the most effective is secondary wepons (pistols), if i'm not mistaken the smgs use the same two handed melee animation as the assalt rifles (when not carrying an SSSD)

@@BlackWolfJa I think you're right. Although it's possible it has a bit of a larger cone? Feels easier to hit multiple people using the primary melee than the secondary (not kill of course since you aren't headshotting and the part damage is negligible) but it can help when trying to clear space to stagger/stim. Although I might just be imagining it!

@@nicholaswelsch8039 definitely yes, two handed melee animations have a bigger aoe cone.

Justice must wield the sword

A bayonet would be fine.

honestly melee is barely useful against bots, i only use it against rocket launcher chaff

@@BlackWolfJa heh fair point. I mostly only use it on the guys that jump pack onto you.

if i'm not mistaken standard melee does 50 damage which brings it up to 75 with peak physique and up to 95 with both peak physique and muscle enhancment booster. The booster itself boosts the damage by 20% which makes it deal 70 damage. Honestly not really noticeable rather than on scavengers or hunters.

oh yeah i totally forgot about that being a thing XD It was bugged when it got released so i thought it would take a little to get fixed

@@BlackWolfJait’s one of the best perks now! I’m having a blast with it, but I don’t know how much stronger the melee is. Perhaps you could do a second part? I haven’t seen your analysis anywhere else

@@jorgebarbera i will need to play with the armor myself first, I'm working on my next video which should come out later today! ^^

@@BlackWolfJa​​⁠looking forward to it! I suggest you go for these niche analysis and topics, since there’s so many channels that basically all talk about the same things

@@jorgebarbera I'm trying! The next video is a guide on how to deal with Hunters, next i think i will start reviewing underused weapons and stratagems!

heh yeah i will cover bots in future videos too! ^^

literally any weapon :D

Bro thinks he's a smartass 💀 The video was done with the purpose of being informative about this, i never said that "it's a good way to kill a bile titan this way". Just something you could do when there's no alternatives available. Something is better than nothing. In the video i showed, the bile sac was already popped. Try it yourself.

@@BlackWolfJa I was just adding onto the knowledge pool for people who might come across the video and not know. And I'm sorry if I came across negatively, I hope you and your whole family have a nice day :(

@@BlackWolfJa What the fuck is wrong with you? All he did was add his own little trick that he thought was cool. He just mentioned another way of doing it. Don't be a stuck up asshole.

the red hit marker clearly shows that you can damage them with all weapons. They do also take some bleed damage, but it's so insignificant at that point that it doesn't really matter.

@@BlackWolfJathanks for making these, love to see more from you
