Rule Suggestion (3.4 Putting your Life at Risk)

[exrobite]

Suggestion Topic: 3.4 Putting your Life at Risk
Suggestion Description: Allow raiding with melee weapons

Why should this be added?:
- the incredible risk of raiding is already ignored to allow for it to happen, why can't we just ignore the fact that charging into a room with a katana might get you killed when raiding with a gun might also get you killed?

- Removing the word melee from the rules will likely increase the Flesch-Kincaid score

What negatives could this have?:
- Literally none

Couldn't you just say you can run into a room and punch someone to death then? This makes no sense.

It's about risk, you've got a good chance of killing someone with a gun, not with a katana.

The risk can be mitigated by smart planning and tactical movement, like any other raid. The difference is that you have a reasonable time to kill with melee weapons with a chance to disarm your attacker, as well as disrupting the defender's formation to the benefit of your other raiders. Raiding with fists is suicide, raiding with a katana is not.

you've got better chances at winning 20mil on slots and winning a fist raid than killing someone with a walther PPK mid raid, if a walther ppk is allowed any melee should be as well

Realistically this is kinda just the type of thing that only negatively effects the person choosing to melee raid, and if they are choosing to do so then you might aswell just let them do their thing
