Its bad.

For a while now we melee users had issues with totally missed hits when we got the sound of connecting a melee hit with an enemy, which can be very dangerous when you are surrounded by enemies and need that first hit to count...

But, after the most recent patches, melee has been bugged even more

We get 0% VATS chance against flying enemies, it makes the campfire stories event very frustrating

We constantly now have VATS issues when we are close to an enemy, we get 0% to hit again OR its says 95% but we simply cannot swing our weapons in VATS

Bethesda, please let us know you are aware of this issue and hopefully it will be fixed asap, we melee users really are suffering right now, a few of my friends have even stopped playing until it gets sorted as they dont have any alt characters

luckily i have 2 others i can play with that dont use melee, but im sure there are many others out there who only play melee that feel a bit left out right now

thank you for listening!

Hi all,

Wanted to confirm that we're investigating several issues related to melee attacks, including:

  • Initial Melee attacks against an enemy not registering.
  • Being unable to use VATS to perform melee attacks on flying enemies.
  • Inconsistent VATS chance to hit when trying to perform melee attacks.

I don't have a date to share on when fixes for this issues are coming but we are looking into addressing them with future updates. I'll be sure to let you know as soon as I have more info!

Thank you!
