No, the way I melee with Predator is I move to the side. More so with the club. The first swing usually misses, making them have to readjust their aim to line up their field of view in my direction. So, they get ONE chance to parry before the unparryable attack comes. That’s very hard for them to do, after I’ve intentionally missed the first swing in most cases.
The war axe makes more sense for Mr Black, since he got killed by a hatchet, but I feel like it’s a bit cheap. Also drains more stamina? Anyway, the club is a bottom tier melee weapon for sure and I ONLY use it on Mr Black, because of how fucking OP I’ve made him. If you shoot the shit out of me while I down someone, I get healed off quick claiming them and with Iron Side, you’re most likely doing far less damage to me. Not to mention, as a Berserker with Impenetrable... I’m already a beast.
I’ve only played with the build a handful of times, but every time I lay these people out. Most just straight up quit. It’s retardedly stupid OP. I almost feel like the claim health should be gauged based on the type of “claim” you do. And Iron Side saves your ass as a Berserker.
