Melee Rework Preview - Major Playtest Patch - September 2nd, 2025

Hey folks, this patch is pretty important. I've received a lot of feedback from folks who don't like the melee in RIG Riot. This patch changes the system to be a hold & release system that provides an automatic lunge on release. Some melee weapons, including the energy blade, also do damage when held. I am still planning to do an effects pass and more animation work but I wanted to get the new system into your hands so I could make sure things are on the right track.
