How viable is melee now?

[RemingtonRyder]

So, here's a thing.  If you have particularly durable doors (stone for example) then you can create a murder box.

Essentially, it is what it sounds like - a tight space between two doors which your melee units can use to quickly cut down enemies which are using fists.  If you like, you can also let the enemies in instead of waiting for the door to be bashed in.  Once the door closes behind them, they have to bash it to get back out.

Against enemies with power armour, clubs are probably your melee weapon of choice, due to the lower damage resistance.

good info. i wasn't aware of that before you pointed it out.
i usually just choose swords, coz they looked cool.
(maybe i'll find a lightsabre mod or something)

btw, is there a starwars mod yet?

Full power armor and hyperweave beneath, you can actually charge anyone who has a bullet weapon. Minor damage, easy to heal to you.
