melee vs. ranged........your take?

<< < (2/2)

Evan:
Your melee char will die a lot to people with guns. But if you are a lone beginner, it has some merits. As you noticed, in this game, you die a lot. A HtH char doesn't need guns and ammunition, knives can be easily made and found, and even stacking a few rippers isn't that hard.

So if you want to see a lot of dead players, melee isn't the best. If you wanna ensure you lose less than others in combat, it's a good approach. You can do your stuff, learn the ropes without the constant need of making your tools for it. And you'll end up with a cool miner character and experience to proceed from there.

Slaver Snipe:
Thanks Oska, I was going to post a very similar response, but as it is Ranged is usually superior since without 3d the only way a melee/hth player can kill someone is with high burst/critical damage otherwise their enemy can simply run to the exit grid at the same speed.  When 3d comes that will probably change with speed increasing with higher melee/hth skill and some perks (at least i hope so)
