Is Darktide still supposed to be a melee-ranged hybrid game?

Currently uploading a few videos. They were difficult to get, but not because of zealot.

The servers are sh*t today, and my game crashed a ton but I got some clean matches albeit boring ones (I can upload the “dirty” ones but there’s no scoreboard to show my efforts because of the crashes). Auric of course, and top scoring as promised with not a single use of my bolter. One “vs” inexperienced teammates, and one with a 676 ish ogryn using a gunlugger kickback build.

I’ll also upload a clip where I take on an entire room of gunners in a duo match. I’ll be very snarky, and obnoxious in it so that should be fun for you.

The other 2 matches won’t have my dumb voice since I need to render them in an editing software or it doesn’t show up by default for some reason.

This spot on the thread is just reserved so I’ll edit in the links once its uploaded however long that may take.


EDIT:

I also wish to point out I’m a level 83 zealot. I barely play this class (it shows with my bad weapon combos), but it really doesn’t seem to matter.

I will also post other zealots who aren’t bad at the game after my own videos are uploaded to further drive home the point that zealot is the most independent class who don’t need no ranged weapon * z snap *

The shortest one. So it’s obviously done fastest.

^ This is in response to:

Because interpreting my previous post that I’m ignoring the ranged units is bad faith.

The context was I can just shoot the melee why doesn’t the logic follow that I can just melee ranged?

^ Laggy servers. Kept on getting double uses of FotF for some reason.

Unfortunately might as well have been a regular damnation, but still.

The ones where I crashed were much more exciting but as I said no scoreboard means you can’t see that I did well numerically. I have the gunlugger ogryn one being uploaded, and I’ll come back to check on that later.

^ Laggy servers. My god damn push stabs weren’t going through half the time. You can actually visibly see the lag sometimes like a mutant “swimming” through the ground at one point, and constant clipping through enemies.

OH LOOK some stuff right here on these very forums

You can scroll down, and see several zealots true solo melee only on Damnation.

Melee only can be done this is now proven yet to see ranged only.
