      It's called GREAT game design. You can very easily justify punishing the player for playing the game this way. Especially since it goes against the theme of the game, but why should you? Why not make it something reasonably possible? This is what makes your game worth 60 dollars. It's a decision by the developers, since they got what they wanted when the player bought the game, they now let the player also do what they want with it. It's dope, and it's missing from too many modern games.

      ​@@YourantsallyIm pretty sure reverse joints at a certain weight can at least rival treads, and they get slightly further range for the kick as well. Apart from that main differences between legs are hitbox. I remember someone making a video about it, the ideal kick weight is around 80-90k after that any further weight gives very little additional damage. The additional range and kick animation makes reverse joints a lot better for a kicks and they allow you to choose your own thruster, which is important for melee builds since they want melee atl thrust

      I doubt you can break it with punches even though, you're right, you can damage it with normal attacks. It's a huge shield, but actually that's not the real problem. The real problem is that it deals damage to you if you make contact with it... so... i don't think there's a hope in hell of your little punches beating the like 3000 damage it does to you for touching it. I think the only way to progress in the game is to use the stun needle launcher (or some other kind of weapon). That's Fromsoft gimmick bosses for you.

    Fun hints: Reverse joint does a double heel slam with great range. Also, the arms help, but you can go even further with boosters meant for melee, they conserve energy and boost damage. They look like big discs with apertures on them. There's only one other melee oriented thruster that pops up late game.
    You can also start a melee attack and quick boost out of it to cancel, and those melee boosters let you cover ground real efficiently to position yourself perfectly for a combo.
    Remember too that total mech weight matters for the kick. So using those heavy spring chicken legs with tank bits gives SUPER satisfsctory performance.
    I actually run full melee and even bare hand in pvp like this. So trust that you can actually buff the melee quite a bit.

    For anyone looking to try this out, the damage of your punch is affected by your arms' Melee Specialization stat, and the distance you can cover while punching is determined by your thrusters' Melee Attack Thrust stat. Also, the damage of your kicks is determined by your weight, with diminishing returns past 80,000 weight. Reverse joint legs get a bonus to kick damage.
    My parts list for my punching build is:

    I was thinking: If you start the tutorial mission by shooting all the ammo in your machine gun and the auto purge option is on, you should be able to use a fist in the tutorial boss fight. The only problem is that restarting checkpoint would bring the gun back so maybe you did beat it the best way because that might take to long to expend all ammo every single attempt.
