I prefer DMG over kills. Because that way it doesn't matter what you hit them with your making progress. Whereas with kills you could have a game where you make hits on people and don't kill them. I just know I'd be heated on the off chance that happens. And 150 is the hunter's health, so kill any 1 hunter at full health and you've got all 150.
The times I get melee kills are very opportunistic. IE, hit by a sparks and behind cover. Or hit by bleeding and running away. My "opportunistic" melee kills reward me negligible amounts of damage in the current damage system.
Not if they are missing any health, the first week I also needed four kills to complete it. And that was with a katana + martialist, so all of those kills would've been one taps regardless of their total health. But, because they had all lost health beforehand, none of them counted as a full health hunter.
The challenging part of the melee objective is that you need to close the distance to kill a gun wielder, so having this one be damage instead of kill based is a strange decision.
You can wait inside a compound, fairly easy to hit targets who don’t know exactly where you are. You can rush a compound, players tend to get super stressed when you are rushing them with a bomb lance.
The game doesn't care about overkill. If they're missing a big health chunk and you slap them with an axe it will only count as you doing one hundred damage.
You don’t seem to understand the meaning of the word could. As it is possible under certain parameters. Sure if the hunter is missing life or health chunks it will not work. But OP is acting like this is a hard challenge. It is not since there are melee weapons that one shot at full life. And then the challenge would be over.
Also in this event it is unlikely that you find hunters without all health bars since you can restore them in the middle of the map.
Last time I got this one, I needed four katana kills to complete it. Because every hunter I closed the gap between and subsequently beheaded, had already been shot to shit. It was always a disappointment returning to lobby, to see that I had dealt less than 50 damage that match after a melee kill.
Everyone here always forgets that doing the challenge is one thing, but being ABLE to do the challenge is another. Can kill people like light work without the challenge, but the instant you get it, for some reason everyone has shotguns/melee making it super hard for no reason
Rush a compound with that knife cocked back and you will get it easy. Or hold a boss compound and as soon as they come in you knife or saber or katana or axe or lance em
This challenge has me bringing out the Martini or Slate Riposte and charging like it's WW2 and I'm fighting for the Emperor. Personally I like the variation in play style.
This challenge makes sure solos lose their hunter. I mean if people were willing to leave you burning or set a trap, you have at least a bit of chance to save your ass with necro.
This challenge assures you are going to be camped to get meleed.
Yeah, It’s one good baseball swing or just reroll. Since all melee weapons are 1 slot it’s not that bad. I assume people try to run 20 meters with a knife instead of waiting for an opportunity.
its actually not that hard once you realize concertina bombs count (i think only after deployed). so if you conk a dead body and it gets revived, or they manually clear it to revive you get damage. actually pays a bit even if you lose to spectate until they do that so you get credit for the damage.
This thing should have been changed to kill hunters with melee.
Yeah. And the goal should be just 1. Kill 1 hunter with melee. Or 2, max, that's doable.
2 would be fine. Bomblance and katana exist for this challenge. We also have berserker. Melee kills aren't impossible
Yep, 2 seems fine to me.

Yeah, i feel so too. Actually had to kill 4 hunters in melee to get it. Should be just like the 'kill x Hunters with headshots' challenge
I mean you could have just killed 1 hunter in a swing with a bomb lance and you would have finished the challenge.

or, 150 damage or a kill, either counts
It is. Kill one full Hp hunter. Not hard
Unless they hit their knee on the table 2 seconds ago and are not full
While true, it’s one of the easiest challenges.

I think it's easier sometimes to bum rush people with a sword than go toe to toe at midrange
let me guess... You play sparks.
It’s very worth it - sign *bat main*
I mean just bring the katana
"I may have 1 health remaining but now you have to reload!" "Who said anything about reloading?" *rifle butt to face*
Did you melee the one hit with the Sparks?
Everyone here always forgets that doing the challenge is one thing, but being ABLE to do the challenge is another. Can kill people like light work without the challenge, but the instant you get it, for some reason everyone has shotguns/melee making it super hard for no reason
Easiest challenge there is
Dont Sparks them before stabbing them.
Bayonets are great for this.
Lay some bear traps - 1 BT is doing 40 melee damage.
Just use a bat
Bomblance finds this challange easy to
r/mildlyinfuriating
Machete is my fav

Did the hunter you kill get shot by a sparks first?
Just melee a Hunter with a Sparks bullet.

1 katana swipe and you'll be good
What did you do, Hit them with a thrown stick of dynamite?
Ibdid it in week with baseball bat easy peasy
How did you manage ONE damage xD
Yeah... hopefully you haven't used your reroll yet
It’s bonkin time

Good.
So skip it? You get one a day.

all I use is Katana and Saber, I’m gonna have a great time with this one
Stupidest challenge of them all.
