Melee Weapon Suggestion

[LiptonTea 0]

I don't know if anyone has suggested this but I think we could use third weapon slot for melee weapons, like hang the axe in your belt or something.

Sometimes I see a pig and I want to kill it for food and I don't want to waste bullets or alert others to my presence, and If I run out of ammo I can switch to my melee like it's any other weapon.

thank you

Also making you being able to use the hunting knife as a melee weapon would be cool.

You'll notice you can switch between your pistol and primary by slinging your primary. Why can't you do that for a melee weapon? At the very least, there should be a melee attack option, ie pistol whipping and rifle butting. Maybe include bayonetted weapons. That they wouldn't have to change much gameplay-wise (and I think coding-wise, but I wouldn't know). You could "F", from "Full auto" to "Semi auto" to "Melee" to "whatever the hell else you've got in your pockets" to back again. The hardest thing I think the devs would have to do is do the animations for swinging and thrusting, but again, I don't know.
