Melee Glitch during Halloween mission

[kapn655321]

So, the melee glitch is a thing.. has been for years..
Really puts a damper on games.

This time, I happened during the Halloween mission.
While I was supposed to assassinate the giant baddy.

When you don't have any weapons, and your fists refuse to work, there's a real problem there.

Sorry to be a bummer but I think you're not using your wits right. Might as well check out what those pumpkins around the boss zone do.

No no, I mean... Punch entirely stopped working.

No melee capable. None.

Had to pop pumpkins with bullet jump.

OH! That's never happened to me so I didn't even know. Is there a way to repeat it? I'd like to check on my side as well.

I've never been able to predict when it comes about.
Most reliable sort of glitch I get that's similar is holding block too long (about 2 waves, though seems entirely random) with Ack & Brunt.

Been happening to me forever... that every now and then, my melee just up and quits.
I can tell it's not my key functions, because jump/ ground slam attacks always begin the animation, but never follow through.
