Running out of Throwing Knives should let you switch to throwing hands, allowing you to use a basic punch combo and heavy swing similar to what weaponless skellies have access to.
That, or a skeleton hand for a throwing knife. Take your pick.
Throwing Hands
@northstar404485 No other weapon has a way to deal damage once you run out of ammo with it. It wouldn't make sense to add that to just one weapon, especially one that already has short AND medium range versatility

In before they suggest adding melee to other out of ammo weapons...
Would that be so bad? Pistol whip with a flintlock, butt strike with an eye of reach etc. Not quite sure what you would with a blowpipe however.
@fry9889 It would overcomplicate combat and break balance. You have to choose if you want a melee attack or not. You either get a sword and a gun, or two guns.
To be fair, having the ability to punch or push when unarmed could be really useful. I think it should do minor damage but mostly cause knockback. That way, it won’t be too powerful but can still help create space.
I’ve been in situations where my guns run out and a Sword Lord comes at me spamming attacks. If I could push them back even a little, I could at least get out of the way to reach an ammo box and reload.
Also, being able to use your empty gun to hit nearby enemies would be a great addition. It gives players a small chance to defend themselves or escape when out of ammo, though it would be risky since it requires getting in close.

Well, well... a DG player having issues with a "Sword Lord".... I would think that all the "pro" players clowning on sword users would have no issues keeping them at distance, double-tap them, etc etc 😂 The fact that you're complaining about it is exactly the reason why the feature OP suggested should never happen - it's perfectly balanced now as it is.

Here's an idea: don't run out of them, and keep the last one for melee. There, problem solved.

Was I complaining? 🤔 Sounds like that idea touched a nerve 😅.

The fact that you're using "Sword Lord" in addition to "spamming attacks" says everything I need to know. 😉

Did you know I’m a Sword Lord? 😅😅😅😅
I switch to DG when needed 😉 I’ve been playing for 6 years, so I’ve seen many different playstyles in this game. Everyone who uses a sword gets called a Sword Lord. That’s just normal.My idea was just a funny thought, nothing serious.

@uluckyhitreg You had 10 chances to hit them before they were close enough to hit you even a single time. 9 of those shots have the potential to be kill shots. If you hit two back to back shots, you will always do damage faster than eating can recover it. Sure, a sword has infinite ammo, but it has a range of punch. All guns have a MUCH larger range than a sword and do more damage and requiring ammo balances that. It takes 4 sword swipes to kill, it takes 2 hits from any 2 guns to kill. Even a charged sword strike only makes it take 3 hits to kill instead of 4.
