Forum:OA is bad for melee players

OA's Chinese Stealth Suit is ideal for melee players, but the quests/missions themselves are kinda bad in that many of the kills are sniper type pick offs of enemies at higher ground. Any other melee players try this DLC? I started a melee character and am thinking about tackling it at @ level 9. I fear I'll have to rely on lame VATS snipe skills when I'd rather sneak critical/melee with the Shiskebab FTW. V.A.T.S. addict 01:17, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

There's probably about ten enemies in the Anchorage simulation you can't punch/stab. This is what grenades are for. The standard infantry equipment package has a trench knife, an assault rifle, and some grenades, if I recall, plus there's tons of grenades to loot throughout the sim. Take Little Leaguer at levels 2 and 3 if you're worried about your effectiveness against ranged opponents.--DGoose 18:38, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Well since Melee and Unarmed don't have as many perks it would be effective to max explosives and take the 3 ranks in Demolition Expert. Gabriel Cortez 05:37, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
