Yeah, I had the drop on an entire squad and all I got outta the first guy was three stabs until he turned around and starting firing at me then his whole squad unloaded on me. That was the end of my ninja training.
Every time that I’ve dropped in hot… I always go for the stab while the guy always goes for the gun… and every single time I’ve won that fight because of the length of time to pick up the gun then load it… but it wasn’t a 3 stab issue it was more like five or six. I, too, think melee hits should be stronger… but that’s just me. Club to the knee? We could call it the Tonya Harding
I stabbed a guy 3 times in the back, 1-2 times in the front IMMEDIATELY after landing and he still had time to pick up the gun, load ammo, turn around and shoot me dead while I was doing so. It’s a joke.
I actually tried but every time I get downed, some bug kicks in so that I cannot rotate (only move back and forth). Pressing Esc twice fix it but by then it has always been too late. It has not happened enough times so that I get the Esc - Esc press as a routine. I also play mostly the solo version and there one is not downed, just dead.
I did hit a guy with the knife but I was not downed then and it did not count on the assignment so I have not tried the melee option very much. It is a bit unclear to me whether one needs to be downed or not when using melee weapon.
I tried a few times but everyone is immediately finishing the kill instead of stopping when they have downed you.
The other times I did not had a sidearm to use cause I had not found one.

I hate to admit it but they need to learn final stand lessons from old call of duty games
I did, but it was accidental. When I was downed, since I knew I had very little time, I just fired blindly in my killer’s general direction. I basically just spammed the fire button until I was killed. I didn’t even try to aim, but somehow I hit him.
