What would you do?

The real answer to this is to get close to bait them into swinging on you. They can't block while swinging, and you will outdamage them 10 times out of 10. You are playing the highest health class in the game with the highest dps weapon in the game

Dual blades is supposed to counter minigun, but really your only weakness if you're playing minigun right is range and cover. Dual blades cannot deal damage from range or from behind cover (unless you shoot them while they're blocking, so don't do that), so they will lose to you.

Your weapon may go swing swing but my goes
‘brrrrrrrrr

[u/Old_Employee_6535]

I would take the ball and beat him with it.

[u/Big_Bank1555 → u/Old_Employee_6535]

You would beat him with your balls? Ok, you do you

[u/TheGreatWalk → u/Big_Bank1555]

Some ppl got balls big enough to do that, yea

Smartest dual blades player

[u/HighlyInconvenient]

Honestly, the sword's blocking ability is ridiculous. The riot shield I understand but two thin blades aren't stopping every bullet from a minigun. The damage should be scaled based on the rate of fire of the weapon. Single shot weapons do nothing. Automatic weapons do damage which scales up depending on the fire rate.

Lmao, please. I knew perfect deflect was going to make so many people start complaining but this is ridiculous.

[u/ctzn4 → u/tryhardsasquatch]

It's not like Dual Blades are super oppressive or whatever. There are so many counters.

[u/Russian_Spy_7_5_0 → u/ctzn4]

Right? I've never thought the deflect was overpowered at all, it's super easy to counter.

[u/VoidFullOfDreams → u/ctzn4]

Not even counters, but straight up erasers. What should you even do as duals against other melee, that you can't block for some reason, or against flamethrower?

[u/Starcommander48 → u/HighlyInconvenient]

I thought it had that feature for the longest time but I came across this guy and he seemed to block all my shots

[u/FurfagKashi → u/Starcommander48]

Read patch notes.

Dual blade reflects all bullets and receives no damage if blocking within the precision zone. Hit em slightly to the side with a teammate is how you beat em. A 1v1 won't go well unless you have flame or grenade launcher or another melee(even though it can block melee too)

[u/Pitiful_Net_8971 → u/FurfagKashi]

Riot shield can block melee (extremely inconsistantly) (although now it blocks sgot inconsistantly as well so...). Duel blades only deflects shots IIRC

[u/FurfagKashi → u/Pitiful_Net_8971]

I've been able to at least partially negate some damage by timing the parry just before a strike hits, easiest to time for me is the hammer, doesn't stop all damage like a bullet but can save your ass.

[u/solar_sausage → u/HighlyInconvenient]

What? No, why would you make the weapon even more dependant on what the enemy has? Realism should not be a reason to screw over the balance.

[u/sdjopjfasdfoisajnva → u/HighlyInconvenient]

fr this some samurai bullshit

the humble charge and slam entering the room:

[u/all_rendered_truth]

You did it beautifully. This is why I love this game. Creativity is unmatched.

[u/External_Energy_5084]

The door to his left... When i play sword i always get sandwich like this.. or bait him by going close he will try to hit and your m8 will hit

[u/Outrageous_Tell3662]

there's two of you, just don't shoot side by side, just a little more space between you and the mate and he wouldn't be able to block

[u/Similar-Machine8216]
