Merge Throwing with Close Combat

[Strike]

I read that there was this kind update too.

- Bonus HtH attacks decrease grenade throw cost by -1 (doesn't stack with BROF),

I think Throwing should be merged along with Close Combat. Throwing is just support skill now, nobody really use it as main skill. It should become one with Close Combat to be more used in combat.

Yeah, let's put every skill that sucks into one big skill group instead of fixing it.
Throwing could be good, it just needs some rework. Especially Heave Ho!.

What is wrong with Heave Ho perks? They are needed to get max range with throwing weapons. Personally I think range could be little better, but nothing else.

I think 2 perks are too much for such a relatively small benefit.
Especially if you consider that throwing does not have crafting bonuses.

They should either give more range
or they could be merged into one and the second could be changed into something else.

Well, that is quite much true. They should be merged as one perk that will give same effect as both them.

yes increase from 3 to 6 for one perk, with superhuman strength (10) you should be throwing fucking far anyway

You can throw far as 21 range now with strength 5, maybe it should be increased atleast to 25 range for all throwing weapons.

Remember that throwing weapons have max range as all other weapons have. But with heave ho you can exceed this range.

Im for keeping two levels of this perk, but adding some other bonus to it. Maybe more damage, crit, lower chance for weapon drop, -AP for second level.

Throwing over walls and buildings would be awesome.

And we need something better than throwing knives for aimed throwing. Something like Wakizashi but for throwing. Craftable from HQ Metal Parts ofcourse.

I don't think this is such a great idea... Throwing and close combat only sort of cross over with throwing knives, spears and sharpened poles...

Thank you Mr Brain, I forgot about spear/sharpened poles.... Oh duh.

Yeah maybe let's merge all skills into one... not.
