Parazon Mercy Kill with Archgun summoned will suddenly unlock Quick Melee

[secretiveUkulele]

Exactly as in title - should you kill an enemy with your Parazon while also having Archgun in your hand will suddenly active Quick Melee as if you had a normal weapon, not an Archgun.

Steps to reproduce:

1. During a normal mission or in Simulacrum summon your heavy weapon (Archgun).
2. Chip off enough damage to allow for Parazon's instakill (icon should appear above enemy's head).
3. Do the Parazon's instakill while still having your Archgun up.
4. All of a sudden you can now use your quick Melee button as if you had normal guns.

The video example can be seen here:

Few other things of note:

• While doing Quick Melee in that state the UI in the right bottom corner won't reflect the switch, like other weapons do.
• (Not sure if you COULD switch out of Archgun with F, but) switching weapons is available and you'll unequip the Archgun if you try this.
• You have to use the Parazon's instakill every time you unequip it.
• The speed of Nami Skyla Prime shown in the video is powered through Riven and bunch of speed modes, in case you wondered.

As it's only Kuva Ayanga was used while testing this, it's worth testing it out if it does the same to all other Archguns.

EDIT: Disregard the last sentence, it also works with Velocitus. I'd also suggest keeping the Quick Melee (probably by sacrificing Heavy attacks while wielding Archguns, I guess) without the whole Parazon procedure.

Tried this bug on archgun other than Kuva Ayanga.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. I like being able to change quick melee when in heavy weapon mode. I was seriously hoping i was the only one who found this.
