Melee and ranged weapon ratio

equal part) of shown gameplay is shooting

Sure. Nobody is saying the game is supposed to be 100% melee. And it’s not. (You could try, but that would be quite challenging in its own right. Specials are bound to get you one way or another.)

You’re the one saying you want 100% ranged to be an option. And that it was supposedly implied by the marketing. Despite melee being very prominent in all pre- and post-launch marketing text and video.

But here’s the thing: if you put an awesome, cool gun in a player’s hands, it comes with expectations and reminders of other games that solely focus on the first-person shooter aspect. We knew this was a risk. We wanted to avoid presenting and reinforcing these expectations. In Darktide when hordes of enemies close in on you, you swap your Lasgun for your Thunder Hammer and wreak righteous havoc on their corrupted souls. We’ve opted to call this Hybrid Combat - not FPS with an optional melee weapon. Players will need to learn how to use both and when to switch between them.

They have been very open about their intent from the start.
