I decided to bite the bullet by using perkaholic on my rex infernus EE run....... the game despawned my two other guns, one of them being THE WARDEN'S BLIGHT and I couldnt progress without gambling....
@SynthPotato Dying light's melee combat isn’t that good. It feels insanely janky, and I rarely felt rewarded for building an awesome weapon, because it always did barely damage, and it felt like i was punching zombies with a pillow.
