I’ve found it to be impossible to perform a frontal melee attack in mini slayer. Even with the energy sword I am unable to perform a melee. Is anyone else having this problem.
I’m 112% sure there is no melee in mini. Still some glitchy assassinations though.
Hmm… Kinda odd. I feel like an idiot for spawning my sword ordinance now.
Not to mention your creepy dead bodies.

I know right? All elongated and -Yoink-. Going to give me night terrors for weeks.

Check out the full details of the update below.

> Mini Slayer is a brand new game type that will be added to Action Sack! This mode has only been played by 343 staff and some lucky studio visitors, and we are excited to premiere it this coming Monday. The Spartans are scaled smaller than normal, but the weapons are normal size, creating fun, hectic, and often hilarious game play. The game type will be available exclusively on the map “Rail” at launch. Here’s what to expect from the game type:
>
> · All Spartans are mini!
> · All players have the “Mobility” tactical package
> · All players spawn with Assault Rifle
> · Killcam disabled
> · <mark>Melee disabled</mark>
> · Due to the scaling of character models, corpses become stretched

I really wish they didn’t do that every time you die. So creepy.

Any word on whether or not the energy sword will be removed from ordinance drops? That was my big confusion. I kept getting energy swords. I figured melee would work with those. Oh well. Thanks for informing me.
You can lunge and kill with a sword, but only at less than half the max range, if going by my tests was anything.
At longer range, you’ll lunge but suddenly pull up for no reason…
Right. Sword still kills, perhaps only with the fire button and not melee.

Thats because of the smaller hitboxes involved, so that + lag = no registering hits
You can melee, they really did not disable it, I got a melee twice, and 3 assasinations my first time.
In order to melee, duck/melee at same time when ready. To assassinate/melee, do same except on the back. It is the scale that doesn’t allow it, but when you duck, the hitbox registers and you can melee and assassinate. Enjoy.

I haven’t played it yet, but were you getting pummels on the person or just beat downs & assassinations?
That could be, just maybe, because melee is disabled. Just a thought.
Yup no melee in Mini Slayer it is confirmed in the Bulletin
Can someone tell me what mini slayer is? If its the gametypes where Spartans are small, then that’s a modded gametype and it unfortunately can’t be discussed here.

We can discuss modded gametypes that are 343i created like this one. The community created one’s however are not allowed. Just a note, just because a gametype is made by 343i doesn’t mean it isn’t considered “modded”, because it is.
This is my theory, if a mod could confirm it, that’d be great.
As others have mentioned, melee is disabled due to inconsistencies that occur with teenie Spartans. However, assassinations are still possible, which creates an interesting dynamic (plus, mini assassinations are awesome).

Especially when a mini-Spartan assassinates a giant JiP Spartan. That stab looks painful. O.O

Nah, if you watch in theater it looks like somebody is being assassinated with machete. That seems more painful -_-
