The sledgehammer is a good example of how to make a melee have great lunge and mobility, while not being broken like the kali sticks. The heavy attack has a crazy lunge of 5.2 meters, but the animation is slow and you can easily be killed during it. The angle for hits is also smaller than other melees, which is probably why it feels like some hits are missing. Most of the same mobility as the gladiator so it is definitely the best melee right now. I like how they are making the new melees feel unique and not just knife reskins we’ve gotten for the last 4 years. With the sledgehammer, melee seems viable but not broken, and it doesn’t feel cheap getting kills. The best way to use the sledgehammer is to use a heavy to close the distance(you’d be surprised at how far you can lock on) and then a light for a quick kill. I like to make use of live pings so I now when I’m in the 5.2 meter range. Stims are also probably the best tactical unless you are going for executions, but smokes and stuns are pretty good as well. Thanks for the fire content as always
I've gone back to the Gladiator. After seeing its potential, i ran into issue after issue with the Sledgehammer. I'm unsure if it's just buggy on the xbox, but it rarely lets me hit two light attacks on players. Just acts like i only hit the trigger once and just standing there for them to kill me. Hope you've had better luck, but i think the speed of the Gladiator may still be better.
From my testing, sledgehammer has a faster TTK and the same sprint/Tac sprint speed. I noticed a similar thing when I try to hit people on stairs. Most hits don’t connect
@NuclearDonut for me it's like the game doesn't register hitting the left trigger more than once. Got me killed so many times but I look forward to your video on it 👍
I could be wrong, but i believe it assigns a heavy attack to r1 and circle to light melee? I changed a few things on the controller settings, and im double tappin' in mid-air! (Ps5 pro controller)
@lorddamascus88 my controls on xbox are LT light attack and RT light attack. Maybe I need to check my connection (even though I know my internets really good) because I can't switch that quick to attack with the sledgehammer from the riot shield. Nor will it let me do 2 light attacks half the time. Seen no one else with this issue so it must be my internet connection.
Bro your content and edits are such quality.. You run a great discord as well.. you really should keep this up. Respect.
Thank you so much kind sir

Thank you for the quality info my friend, did not know all that 🙏
@@NuclearDonutyeah the lunge is more than double of all the other melees💀
The way you use melee weapons and shields is really great.
It's cool to judge how to change weapons quickly depending on the situation💀
Thanks for the surprise uploads!
Thanks for watching 😌 new video tomorrow
Love this
But how do you swap so fast between shield and knife without fast hands?
@@Rudolph_De_Wet in warzone, everyone has fast weapon swap by default
i like that you do executions and use melees and most youtubers dont use executions and thats why ive subbed to you (notifications on)
Thank you kind sir
@@NuclearDonut you deserve atleast 10k
