(COMBAT INITIATION/BROKEN EGO VENT) Is it bad to be a one trick pony?

I can only use load-outs that are heavily based off MELEE or certain gears. Like the comically large sword one, the high slash rate one, and even the decoy one
I also have to follow up with firebrand as the first thing I get, along with flamethrower and wrench right after. In that order, and I can’t deviate.

I’m missing out on so much because I can’t work with other load-outs aside from these. They just leave me dead. Like this one build with bloxxers headband where luck gave me no good mobility (even though there was a 1/3 chance for jet boots EVERY TIME) and I died 3 times on rocket arena (not server lives, normal lives). That has never happened before, not in months at least. In fact, that incident happened today and it’s given me this exact dilemma.

Am I somehow cheesing it all my achievements and X RANKS with these or playing into what my strengths are to win. Either way, I don’t like the answer because I’ve grown bored and want to branch out into different styles of gameplay. But if that just gets me killed, then what’s the point? Is it a skill issue that somehow became a thing after a two day break from the game? Is it a bad thing to only excel at one thing and be mediocre in the rest?

I need answers. And if you can, help me find some build that could work to spice things up. I’m desperate for something that has survivability while also being silly/ unique.
