Fighting with melee weapons

Aneurysm · Post by **Aneurysm** » Sat Sep 18, 2004 12:20 pm

I am playing that new arroyo realist mod with a melee character , and I have noticed that some of the melee weapons have two attack options , swing or thrust. What's the differences between the two ? It seems they do the same damage and they require the same aps , are there any differences or it's just the attack animations that are different ?

Yeah! Even better, what's the difference between a punch and a jab?

I thought that was kinda obvious? Of course the secondary punches/kicks were armor piercing, and the more AP it took to do, the better change there's to be a critical hit.

Of course it was obvious. If I'm progressing in levels, I would expect that I'd become more powerful.

I just didn't know the exacts.

KNIFE

Thrust for armor piercing, but less general damage
Swing for more general damage, but no armor piercing

Gamebanshee mainly.
My ass is full of many things, but not Fallout-related statistics.

By using a gun. Like Sean Connery said in The Untouchables, "Just like a wop to bring a knife to a gunfight".

True, true. I just forget about that one. I dedicate my life to getting Powered Armor and Super Sledges whenver I play, thus leaving hte poor super cattle prod unnoticed.
