But you know what else Forbidden West came within abundance? Bugs, and a whole lot of them, as you’ve probably experienced if you purchased the game.
However, whether youcan’t talk to the herbalist, you are having troubleexamining the machine’s carcass, or you simplycan’t get the game to work, we can help you solve these issues.
That being said, Forbidden West players started flagging a new issue lately, one that won’t allow them to melee during the fighting pit quests.
Luckily for you, once again you came to the right place to get such tedious problems solved in just a matter of minutes.
How do I fix not being able to melee in Forbidden West?
This issue apparently happens if the player attempts to start a challenge or tutorial in the melee pit located in Chainscrape in Horizon Forbidden West.
The game can end up showing a back screen. It is still running in the background and we can hear the sound and everything, but there won’t be anything shown on the screen.
If you can’t melee in Forbidden West, we suggest you go through this quick troubleshooting process:
Also, if you have the deluxe edition of the game, all you need to do is to remove the deluxe edition or pre-order bonus equipment from inventory.
