Knives jamming... please look into this

[Kuljack 29]

I have the melee challenge, and have done now 18 runs. Only gotten 2 melee kills with what should have been many more; however, 2-3 swipes in my melee keeps jamming. Some instances the other player is pushing me off but not all. This is really frustrating because it’s already hard setting up melee kills out in the open not camping. Also, it seems like players can just push you and you’re suddenly stunned giving them time to shoot you but we don’t have a counter for this as a melee attacker. I’m getting tired of loosing fallknivens and their cost, even though it doesn’t seem to do anymore damage.

Hi Kuljack,

Reported the same issue on Wednesday. Very frustrating when you need one more hit.

Also agree with the apparent change in the melee mechanics. A shove with your opponent's weapon seems to have a greater effect than before. Makes the knife attack a lot more difficult.

Managed a number of kills, but nothing like the frequency I had before the update. Agree that a difference in damage with more expensive knives would be logical.

Will continue with knife only encounters and try and adapt my tactics.
