Can you shoulder someone from a long range??? Obviously not… Comparing throwing knives (consider the range, tracking, wall bouncing capability, knives energy regen = ability spam = super easy kill streak potential) to extremely close 1v1 combat mechanics like shoulder charge does seem mostly inaccurate. Sorry… but I do not get your point.

or ~200 melee and a buff like Knockout, Roaring Flames x1, Offensive Bulwark, Shieldcrush, etc. Instead of that though, HoIL and Stand Asides (run in circles for the Bolt Charge) with high Melee stat are pretty easy ways to do it too.

You don’t need it if there is another exotic you want to run just run 190-200 melee

So does a shotgun
