StaceyPowers Posted May 6, 2020 Posted May 6, 2020 I literally never bothered with melee fighting in Fallout even after years of play until Old World Blues. I was forced to try it because of lack of ammo plus enemies that are in-your-face all the time—and I am shocked to realize it actually has a purpose, lol. Three hits and a nightstalker goes down, and I have almost no points in it. I just figured I’d make this post in case anyone else, like me, just ignored melee skills in Fallout because they thought, “Why would I do that when I have guns?” It is way more efficient for some types of enemies.
kingpotato Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 Probably the devs realized that Melee was useless in the base game and thats why they did this for the DLC. I have never used Melee in FNV it always felt pointless.
