Is it just me...
« on: August 23, 2007, 03:23:50 pm »
Or can you disarm an opponent by using melee with your gun?

I seem to have done this, and been the victim of it, several times, so could someone clarify this for me?


Sorry if this seems like a "n00b" question.

Ah I see, I just never thought it was actually possible, I thought it was a bug.

Understandable. Due to how hard it actually is to kill anyone with no firearms, almost no one ever does it. hence the never seing it before. Too bad really, 'cause it's suuuuch an awesome feature :)

Yeah in fact just yesterday I decided to start training myself to get more kills with the  [fist] I got a few hits so far.

Sure, most playerds can't shoot for **** anyway, so getting close is easy enough. But to actually kill anyone.. that's the real challenge ;) I suck at it myself, killing with the fist.

When people take this out of context, it will be considered the best quote in the universe...

I will sometimes disarm someone when I get close to then, but I almost never just use my fists because it's seemingly impossible to get hits with it. :-\

You don't actually have drop your weapon to disarm one, do you? I mean, hitting them with your weapon disarms them as well, right?

thank you, kind sir.


and echo, no you don't have to drop your weapon. It happens sometimes when people spawn at the same time at the same place.

Yeah, when in close combat you actually use your fists instead of your gun. If the enemy doesn't die from the first knock, he'll lose his weapon. It's pretty fun to disarm someone with a chainsaw doing that. Go to prone and stand up when he's right on top of you and click very fast (do not keep your mouse button pressed) hat ill disarm t guy with the chainsaw; but it'll only work on very rare occasions :P.

Yeah, I've disarmed a Boogie Man before in zombie matches... pretty crazy. Both players have to be moving at similar speeds and directions though or else your swing (which needs a sort of charging time due to the animation) won't connect.

The best way to garner fist kills (while holding a weapon) is to use a semiauto weapon like the Barrett or Spas. But instead of clicking multiple times for multiple shots, just hold down fire when you get close to them. Mind you, fists aren't as fast as a chainsaw, so don't try running through your enemies. Use it like a slashing knife. Works well in collider-infested closed areas, since fists and knives ignore colliders.

Well, I started using deagles pretty much all the time now, and its saved my life so many times when i run out of ammo to just charge in and disarm my enemy.

Thats what I like to do to snipers. I don't know, nothing feels as satisfying as killing a long-range shooter with close-quarters-combat. Hehehehe. ;)

Also, really comes in handy if your an occasional ruger user like me, if you run out of ammo, run to the enemy and start pistol whippin'.

I've done this to some people. A memorable time: Doing the whole burst-fire auto thing, I got up-close and personal with a reloading M79 user. Since I was mashing the fire button like crazy and trying to stay as close as possible to the enemy, I was able to punch the M79 out of their hands and then move away and finish the attack. Then I think he tried to vote-kick me. Good times.
So yeah, it's fun in the right circumstances. Otherwise you'll turn into a leaky piece of meat.

It helps me a lot when I suddenly lose my weapon, usually in pubs theres 1 or 2 people AFK on occasions, so I just get close to them and fist them, and take theirs. :p
