Can't seem to find a mod for it on nexus

I'm feeling pretty anxious about the changes Embark make...they've been heavy handed in the past.

My hope for the rework is simple

Make melee police itself.

The issue isn't that melee is strong when it gets into range, but rather that there are very few interactions available once it's there.

Give melee weapons more ways to interact with each other....a basic parry/block, poor timing of attacks cause clashes, which could stagger them to prevent more M1 spam.

Suddenly there's a skill expression in the melee v melee duel.

If melee has answers to melee, balance becomes less about how guns deal with melee. IMO a much healthier direction.

I’ve been playing with Hover Pad the last few days, and I’m having some pretty big success with it, especially cashout.

I’m kinda thinking it could actually be a reliable pick in Ranked on certain maps. Paired with Turret, and proximity sensors, the amount coverage and crazy off angles it allows. 🤌

It’s also helped make the Pike shine. It dominates mid-range, and being 30m in the sky makes it way harder for people to engage you close range 😅

How are people enjoying it?

Have many others spent time in the practice range testing its interactions with other gadgets/abilities?
