florinblain submitted a new mod: Hunting Knife - Adds a craftable Hunting Knife, a la the pre-Cheerful Giraffe weapon Read more about this mod...
I've seen several other mods with melees that use bow damage (Elithian Alliance and Frackin' Universe, I'm pretty sure) so it shouldn't do anything really weird.
florinblain updated Hunting Knife with a new update entry: Added Tier 4 variant Read the rest of this update entry...
Thanks for letting me know. Haven't really dug into the guts of the game enough to know whether damage type affects anything strange.
