Minor thing.
With most guns, it looks like you're elbowing instead of hitting someone with a gun. I find it kind of silly as a result. Its a minor detail, but it could use some work. The melee animation needs to look like you're actually smacking someone with the gun model. |

you pretty much are elbowing with the light weapons. pretty sure you whack them with the scrambler pistol though. |

Yes, the scrambler pistol is the exception (why I said "most guns") |

Shouldnt the gun just bounce off? I mean if you are hitting the armor i doubt you could hit it hard enough to break it, and it doesnt make sense that your elbow is doing more damage that a bullet. |

Melee without special equipment like Nova Knives (which has superheated plasma edge) doesn't make sense anyway, but I want it to at least look good.
It might make since if its shield on shield collision damage with the dropsuits, but that would damage the player doing the melee as well, and would make more sense to punch instead of just elbow.
Perhaps the shields flow from the dropsuit and cover the gun, so the gun can do shield collision damage without putting the dropsuit of the wielder at risk.
Anyway, if you're smacking someone with a gun, it should look like it. |

Could be explained in-lore as this:
Since hitting someone with a gun could damage it, dropsuits now have a very low powered layer of shields on their elbows, which keep working long after the defensive shields fail. The shields are Dune-style: They only deflect objects above a certain speed and below a certain one depending on its frequency. They're not enough to stop bullets, but will deflect a stationary or running-speed object (relative to the speed of your elbow hitting them), with a lot of force. Thus, if you elbow someone with those shields, it's gonna hurt a lot for them (the deflection effect is only away from the side of the shield facing outwards. The reason they're on the elbows is so that the user doesn't lose their grip on the gun, something that would happen if they punched. The reason you hit an opponent with a Scrambler pistol is because the pistols were also designed for out-of-dropsuit use, so to grant scrambler-users some melee capability, the same kind of shield was fitted to encircle the barrel when activated. |

Having it so that if you use nano knives, they are equipped on the elbow when not used as main weapon, but when used as a main weapon do a lots more damage, so that if you want melee, u have to get them annyway? |

This thread is about the animation of the basic melee, just how it looks. |
