Borderlands Melee - The Good & Bad

i wish they had actual melle weapons

I KNOW RIGHT? The melee gets shafted way too much. But I guess that Gearbox thought that with 87 bazillion guns nobody would use melee. But COME ON. Mordecai has that awesome sword, Roland has his combat knife, Brick a LEAD PIPE, and Lilith with her palm strike. I also think you should be able to WIELD your weapons instead of just doing the R3/RT/V thing. It should be like Bioshock 2 where that only does a quick gunbutt that does a little damage. To do more damage, you'd have to EQUIP it.

Sledges shot gun is so awesome the way it launches enemies in the air, i once shot a bruiser and sent him halfway across a map

@abermants Sorry, thought this was a Siren video. My mistake

[lollerskatez1]

@abermants its because of the +melee dmg, he has taken the melee spec and therefore the shotgun is very good

[abermants]

are you seriously using a pt1 sledges shotgun...?

@krAToz87 im sure 4 months later you notice that melee damage doesnt scale well and you cant kill anything with melee after level 40ish :) but it IS fun :D
