Using axe for combat

[elidmw]

How do I use axes for combat?
Example: I have Quick barrage and a metal axe equipped, but the character doesn't put axe in his hand in a fight and uses an animation of fist attack. Is it an animation problem or am I doing something wrong?

You have to have the axe equipped yourself. If you're using Quick Barrage though, then you do have it equipped else it wouldn't work since it requires "any melee weapon" - check tool tip.

Read the tool tips. Quick Barrage is a very low damage attack, it is rather used to create openings and stack IP. (Some bigger hitting attacks require IP).

the animations are as of current "bare bones". Atleast for the combats sake, i dont suspect youll see much improvement upon it until the combat changes come along and they are satisfied. The punch animation is the animation for them all, so you are fine, you are still attacking with quick barrage.

Thanks for clarifying!

Well, I haven't got any other for melee weapons yet, only punch and hook

Keep at it, you'll unlock them. Smack some ants and bats.

You'll get all the moves pretty easily if you take 3-4 hours out of your day, sit down, strap in, and kill everything you see. It's definitely worth doing. I was only like 40 skill roundabout and started picking up everything so fast that it almost became addicting to go hunting. Shirking my chores, neglecting my crops, and not helping gather resource, as they all became secondary to finding some poor animal to stomp just for it's chance at dropping sidestep 5, etc.

And yeah... I wish there was an animation for each weapon. Would be nice.
