Does PMD2 work now?

If you mean does it knockdown, last i checked no.

-Snape

on Starsider it works for me almost all the time, i just run up and pistol whip the Fool's its so great, i even get to do it to a TKA master once in a while get some Bleed's on him and back up hehe

does pistol whip 1 do the same thing? does it KD?

pistol whip is pistol melee defense 1

pistol smash is pistol melee defense 2

pistol whip is kd, while pistol smash is just a high damage melee attack. If you use pistol whip then pistol smash it's a very effective combination in close range.

What I wish they would add to pistol smash is stun or dizzy, that would be very effective.

I have been using pistolsmash then pistolwhip as what i am thinking is effective combination but i may be foolin myself. When I pistolsmash, the target reels back, no knockdown or anything else but it seems like the target looses an attack and pistolwhip comes quick after that. I may be wrong, I just got it myself and gonna experiment alot with it today.

Ok, just got it and was playing around last night and I have a question? Is pistol melee defense 2bugged, or is it's purpose completely different from PMD1?

I didn't knock down a darned thing with PMD2, and didn't get any message about my attack failing to knock the target down. I also didn't see any status ailments hit my target. The damage was ok (not as good as stopping shot though), but did I just have a bad night or is there nothing more to PMD2 then the damage boost?

Pistol Melee Defense 2is not a KD...it is simply an attack that you do on yourenemy using your hand with your gun in it. I believe that it is supposed to be a better version of PMD1 but it doesn't KD...however, I usually get anywhere from 450dmg to 650 or so...but I never use it. Basically its bugged...and should be modified to dizzy yourenemy after you KD your them with PMD1, just my opinion.

PistolMeleeDefense2 is just another one of our many broken specials. It doesn't do anything useful. It costs a lot of HAM to use, just as if it was a knockdown, but it's not a knockdown. It causes no other state effect (stun, dizzy, blind, etc). The damage is okay but it's random HAM, only works from melee range, and has HAM costs.

It's basically complete junk, totally broken.

Use pistol whip first because targets take a lot more damage when knocked down. Your pistol smash will do tons more damage after pistol whip compared to if you use pistol smash first.

PistolMeleeDefense2 is broken. It doesn't knockdown, it doesn't dizzy, it doesn't do anything besides spit out random HAM damage. Ithas the same high HAM costs as MeleeDefense1 without the knockdown effect.

It's almost never worth using because it's limited to melee range, has very high HAM costs,is random HAM (not health-targeted), and does nothing else useful (like knockdown or dizzy).

I've asked the Devs to fix this -- no response yet.

;( how hard can it be dammit!

If I remember right wasn't it pitol mellee 2 that they intentionally took knockdwn out of because it wasn't supposed to have it? Done like a month or 2 back. So I doubt highley that they will bring it back since it wasn't supposed to be KD
