    A melee weapon is a shorter gun with infinite ammo and better spread. It also doubles as a light snack if you hate yourself.

      More like... 87? The Katana for high damage, Ice Pick for same high damage but you trade swing speed for concealment, the Golden Spoon for high damage and a quick charge (as opposed to the Katana's faster swing speed), the two electric weapons for stunning enemies, and then the two poison weapons for killing enemies and stunning them (the last four being highly concealable). There's also the event-only piggy hammer which can kill any enemy in one hit and spawns more of that event's importance valuable, but that's whatever.
      Outside of those, you're mostly using a melee weapon for aesthetics or flavor. Which isn't a bad thing, as it gives a player a bit more agency in their loadouts, but some weapons are just straight upgrades compared to others.

    DRGs pickaxe comes to mind, solely because its a functional pickaxe, it can and does bonk things, it has a heavy attack, but its main thing is digging, its a main part of your kit that the game makes you understand how useful it is, it can kill the small swarmers that come in HUGE groups instantly, its heavy kills most grunt enemies instantly, it can even stun bigger ones in a pinch, it can be upgraded to be better at killing but its always best at digging, even heavy attacking will instantly breaking terrain in a pinch, the heavy helps with digging quickly in some cases and it feels so damn good

    13:44 Let me give you an example then! ULTRAKILL has two different Melee options: the Feedbacker and the Knuckleblaster. The Feedbacker is most notable for it’s ability to parry most not hitscan attacks: Enemy Projectiles, Enemy Melee, your own shotgun shells. The knuckleblaster is a damage focused melee, able to hit in a wide aoe and knock enemies way back.

    battlefield (specifically bf1) also has neat melees imo. theres 3 classes of melee, that do more damage and swing at varying speeds. the melees are valid weapons that you can hold out, not just an ability on a button (though they can do that too). they also allow for instakill backstabs like the spy (along with a cool animation). the bayonet charge also instantly kills any enemy you hit, although it makes you very vulnerable (like demoknight).

    Rainbow six has a pretty unique melee system that even has a few specific characters that have their kit basically based around it and it's all thanks to its soft destruction system. Every operator can make a small hole you can see/shoot through in some floors/walls just by meleeing it, and can completely destroy door barricades just by hitting them three times. There are also a variety of bulletproof gadgets that are rendered near useless, or even broken just by meleeing them like Maestro and Mira. And shoot, some operators main gadgets are based around melee like Sledge or Aruni.
    The system 100 present is a wrench based system, to a point where getting a knife kill is considered a joke, but it is a pretty unique melee system.

      A melee is the third slot weapon.
      Unless you are Spy, or some unique flavors of Demoman, this weapon will usually be your least used weapon; as its common traits of minimal range and usually lackluster killpower make it very unreliable, and its one common strength, being a bottomless magazine and infinite ammo, is one that is only rarely valuable.
      These weapons are, except in the aforementioned case od Spy and some Demomen, quite commonly exchanged for weapons with even worse applications in actual combat, for some kind of auxiliary benefit to the class, as the actual combat application of the weapon is of often negligible benefit, as compared to whatever other benefit the weapon provides. This philosophy is best exemplified by Engineer, whose stock melee has this function.

    12:08 One game I can think of is Deep Rock Galactic, though in that game the melee weapons as offensive tools is more of a secondary use, because the Pickaxes + Driller’s Drills primary uses are for digging and mining minerals
    Edit: you can also upgrade the pickaxes with a power attack that deals more damage, which itself can be upgraded to have a shorter cooldown, deal even more damage or a larger hit radius (though the Power Attack upgrades can only be equipped one at a time)

    Splitgate has an interestening melee attack. It deals 50 damage, but when you drop faster, it increases and will eventually one hit you. Since the game is build around portals (like in Portal), this mechanic is pretty cool.

      Yeah I think it was Deadlock. Kaluka put one tiny clip of Deadlock at 16:04, so that means he was definitely aware of the game when making this video. And I'm pretty sure there was still an NDA in effect when this video was uploaded, which would explain the roundabout way of mentioning it.
      Deadlock doesn't exactly fit the video's premise, because you don't choose your weapon in Deadlock, only your character. So "choosing to use a melee weapon instead of a ranged weapon" just doesn't apply conceptually.
      It does have an engaging melee system though. No cool melee weapons, but a solid system that rewards players for using it.

    Melee weapons in an FPS game are either one of three things:
    1. A specific fallback weapon when a ranged weapon isn't an option (i.e. totally dry on both primary and secondary ammo), such as the traditional combat knife
    2. stealth kill button that isn't actually wielded as a separate weapon but instead is a keypress which near-instantly deals an amount of damage to a nearby target (and may or may not lock you into a kill animation), again see the knife.
    3. An incredibly powerful borderline primary weapon to reward being willing to close in with enemies that have a range advantage on you. The Trench Raider in Battlefield 1, for instance.
    This does not apply if your game ends in "Tide" and is a licensed Warhammer property, however.

    I love melee weapons in DRG. Besides their quite obvious purpose of mining terrain, they are really versatile in combat.
    The power attack can instantly take down immediate threats like a slasher that got too close or a small group of grunts. It is also extremely efficient at dealing with heavily armoured targets that your guns might struggle with even going as fast as piercing the usually invulnerable front armour of an oppressor.
    If used on big targets it also saves a good chunk of ammo in a game where every last bullet can count.
    When used in combination with the vampire perk it is the only non limited way of healing yourself and a good way to get a consistent self revive with Iron Will.
    There's also the robot enemies who are infamous bullet sponges but have an extreme weakness to melee mostly going down in a single power attack (if your can get close enough).

    To defend the evil cod of duty the black ops series has the ballistic knife which was an incredibly fun knife that shot the blade. It worked as a great glass cannon having a max 2 ammo and needing to physically retrieve the blades but kill in one hit. You could argue its less of a melee weapons since the main utility is shooting it but tf2 has stuff like the sandman and the flying guillotine.

    My definition of a melee weapon would be:

    This can include hand accessories that partially, or fully cover the hands.
    So technically a ghillie or morph suit would count.

    I think one of the best examples of an awesome FPS melee weapon is the Shovel from Shotgun Farmers. In has both combat and utility, in your own terms it's both a wrench and a knife. And it's just fun as hell to whack people with.
    -it functions like the melee in Halo, two hits from the front will kill someone, provided they don't have armor and a hit from the back will instakill them no matter what
    -it has the effect of the knife from CS where you run the fastest while brandishing it
    -it has the added use where if you whack a weapon on the ground or a gun plant with it, it destroys it, so you can use this to starve your enemies of weapon spawns
    -there's a mutator in the game that gives it a knockback effect, thus it can be used to create space and make melee duels that much more interesting
    Just one of many examples that prove that Shotgun Farmers is a gaming masterpiece!
