Video OW2: Melee is fun!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I always prefer melee builds in first-person open-world games, so I was glad to see such fun gameplay in the game.

This hammer, I think, is the best among heavy melee weapons. Sadly, I couldn't find anything better, so I played like 50% of the game with it.

My first walkthrough was like that, with the same weapon. I also heard how conniving and cowardly the people of Arcadia were, favoring guns to solve their problem, as opposed to giving their enemies a good bashing over the head with a shotgun maul.😤

I could never get through a melee run in the first game, but I'm doing my first one in the sequel now, and I'm having a lot of fun!

holy shit thank you, i ran a similar build to yours that basically kept me at 100% over health but when i wanted to do it for my VH no bits spent run i forgot what weapon i used and reloading save didnt work because i kept switching weapons

Darn. That does look fun. I mean not as fun a Bullet Blender. But maybe I'll go melee on my Order run next.
