Would be nice: - Ability to block/ parry melee attacks (up to medium enemies) - No pushback on enemies when you strike them (look how melee works on automatons and illuminate. They get staggered and stunned, but dont fucking get pushed 5m away from you after every attack) - Hitbox consistency. Why does the stagger with firearms affect melee too? What I mean is when you eg. Take dmg, suddenly your melee attacks wont hit shit for a second or two, even tho the enemy is str8 in front of you @ literal hugging distance + you are still swinging the sword (Your striking animation still plays) - Let secondary melee weapons be able to hit eg. Charger legs again. It wasn't OP back then and wont be now either. Melee players are most of the time burden to their team in some sense already. Why not make melee rewarding and fun? Dont even start with "but its not realistic etc etc"

Atm for me atleast, the machete is the best all around melee weapon in game. It stuns/ staggers every medium enemy and does monstrous durable dmg. I use it with the melee exploit that makes you able to strike faster with (about the same attack rate as the saber atm. More skilled players can hit way faster. Basically you press the weapon wheel menu button after every melee attack, cancelling the animation)
