That's nice! Is there any spec for Cold Shoulder mod? I found one for Crunch for boosting guns, but not Cold Shoulder for melee ones.
What is useful to know about melee is that it ignores armor, so Armadillo isn't useful on that. However, I found following armor mods very convenient with melee, especially Beat the Brat boxing matches.
Work well with certain perks from Body / Street Brawling
- Fortuna, increases critical chance
- Bully, increase critical damage
- Deadeye, Increases Crit Chance by 7%, Increases Crit Damage by 20%
- Showtime, Increases damage dealt to moderate- and high-threat enemies
General:
- Zero Drag, Increases movement speed IMPORTANT! One of the unexplored things regarding melee and boxing is that player can approach it like real boxing, which is said to be a lot about leg work. It gets bit time to get used tighter spaces in later matches, but it's very worth it especially with low body character builds I think this is almost essential for those matches.
Other:
- Footloose, Increases Evasion. haven't tested how much effect this one actually has Might be important for builds with low Body
- Vanguard, Reduces Stamina consumption when blocking melee attacks
There's certain opportunity in game. I don't know much about roleplaying but that it appears to mean different things to different people, but I made these clothing sets and one was for boxing. Had sneakers with Zero Drag mods, shorts with Showtime and so on. And that was different set what I used for missions, where I had Soft Sole mod and Zero Drag combo installed in shoes and like that. No need to do that, everything goes with every mod slot, but it's nice that there's possibility to make these clothing sets with different features in terms of practical gameplay value.
