Unable To Use Melee Attacks Mid-Level

[Dran]

I have been playing quite a lot this weekend and have been seeing this particular problem:

 

Once in a while during a mission, my melee attacks would somehow get "disabled".

 

Everything was fine at the start of the mission, but after a while into the level, suddenly pressing 'E' or my secondary bind 'Mouse Button 5' would no longer perform melee attacks.

 

My frame is a Loki and I'm using a Scindo axe (Braton rifle and Lex pistol, just in case you want to know)

 

Has anyone encountered the same problem?

Use an ability or jump. Works for me everytime this happens.

i encountered this problem too, altough slightly different. sometimes i am bashing around with melee (bound it to right mouse button) and then i can't use it for about 2-4 seconds. then it becomes available again.

Apparently there's a bug where you can have it disabled until death. It has something to do with using melee to remove leeches, and can only be fixed by getting downed and revived.

Yeah, but look at the bright side:

I get to block with my rifle!
