 +metatag-og:description=(A Heavy Melee Cancel (AKA HMC, Melee Cancels) allows you to cancel the recovery of a Heavy Melee using certain active items or abilities. By activating certain items during the lunge phase of a Heavy Melee, you can maintain the lunge momentum for extended movement opportunities. To perform a Heavy Melee Cancel, either buy the active items that allow you to cancel Heavy Melee or play certain characters that have abilities that can cancel Heavy Melee. Start a Heavy Melee, and while you are lunging forwards, activate the active item.)

 +**In [[https://forums.playdeadlock.com/threads/04-17-2025-update.61382/|04-17-2025 patch]] Heavy Melee Cancel momentum preservation has been substantially reduced, limiting its movement potential.** While the cancel still works mechanically, the distance and speed gained from the technique are now much lower than before.

 True Heavy Melee Cancels are the only type that can be utilised for movement. To maximise the movement potential, cancel the Heavy Melee at the endpoint of the lunge phase (since that is when you are the fastest), then [[universaltech:slidebunnyhopping|Slide Bunnyhop]] afterwards. Heavy Melee Cancels maintain the momentum from the moment you activate the active item; this means you can turn freely during the lunge phase without affecting the speed afterwards. True Heavy Melee Cancels are the only type that can be utilised for movement.
