[forwardslashN]

Bug Description: Blocking a ravager's charge with a machete still knocks you down.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Get M A C H E T E
2. Successfully block a ravager charge with a machete.
3. Get knocked down.

The fuck did you expect to happen? It's a t-rex on steroids.

[forwardslashN]

I was expecting not to get knocked down since the successful block negates all damage. And then to behead the ravager with my blade of doom.

[LordeKilly]

There is a machete?

[Egorkor]

yes there is, go full katachan on these fools now.

Yep, sounds like a feature to me.

[monkeysfist101]

With the way those images are sized I thought you would say Machete>Ravager.

T'was a ruse!

Ravagers shrink at the sight of a marine with a machete.

Machetes have block chance for projectiles and melee, but they do not share the same features as a riot shield. Riot shields tend to inhibit movement (pounces, marines moving past when on anything except help intent, charges). The two are prooobably different on purpose, so for now just be happy to have an oversized combat knife that prevents most friendly fire.

Ayyy and what's taking so long to implement the machete guns?

[Edgelord]

Tbh they shouldn't have implemented machetes until they were orbital-drop capable.

[MrJJJ]

TBH why DO we even have machetes WHICH CAN BLOCK? i never got that.

[Jack McIntyre]

You are saying something comes flying at you and you have a sharp object in your hand you are not going to try and block it from hitting you?

I would, but it can block bullets man, BULLETS, that must be one fuck of a machete lol

[MauroVega]

Whoever uses a machete and blocks bullets is a fucking jedi

[Deadlymight]

Confirmed! Marines are a secret Jedi Order!

[Jack McIntyre]

Okay blocking bullets is a problem, but just saying if there are problems with a face hugger coming at you thrown by a xeno, you can bet I would raise my machete to try and stop it from grabbing onto my face. But that is just me, I can understand stopping it from blocking bullets though, don't think anyone could handle that, not even a jedi since they are explosive tipped rounds we are talking about.

[MauroVega]

Agreed Jack,are we gonna get something like "Carrier 420 throws a hugger at you but you cut in it half with your machete"
and then a sprite of a hugger in half?

...I tottally support this, but too balance it out, risk of burn damage from acidic hugger blood spray.

[Edgelord]

Honestly the machete should just be a more powerful and bulkier knife. You shouldn't be able to block shit with it... by the same logic you could raise your gun to block a hugger.

[Aredal]

By the same logic I can raise face huggers to block bullets, feature when?

[Gelonvia]

The machete is also bugged due to if you dont have a shield.. you will get a message that you block bullets and attacks with a SHIELD AND YOUR MACHETE... It counts as both Shield AND a Sword through RNG. Let me once again, clear this up.. it thinks that you have both a Shield and a Machete even if you dont have a shield and will register and state both.

[apophis775]

Intentional I believe.
