Melee change? Accidental or not?
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Noticed in 1.27 experimental, there has been tweaks to melee that haven't been announced. I was wondering if this was an intentional change.

Steps To Reproduce

Melee change before 1.27 experimental = Light jab, then hold shift while pressing left click. They must be done together in a quick fashion. You'll know that you've done it because your initial JAB will count as a heavy attack

After 1.27 = this is no longer the case.

( This was left in the game for a large number of years for it only to be changed now? Players shouldn't be punished for taking advantage of something that the developers ( YOU ) left in the game )

With the melee part of DayZ already being incredibly unstable and janky, I truly hope you guys have something to replace this.

Thanks

Don't change melee combat please, its great how it is🙏🏼🙏🏼

This "defect" has created a cult following in the game. Some of us just play to fight with hands, and while that is not the original intent of the game, it's the main reason while I still boot it up.

It's not a defect that creates an unfair advantage or breaks the dynamics of the game. There's been some really fun nights and battles because of this functionality.

Hello everyone.
This was an intentional fix and there are no plans to revert it.
