How to Use Melee Weapons

Melee Weapons are items that you can pick up throughout the game. Upon pickup, they will be automatically equipped and will have a durability meter that can be found below the weapon icon. These weapons increase the power of your melee attacks depending on its type.

There are only 2 Types of Melee Weapons available in the game. One of them being Two-handed weapons and the other one being One-handed weapons. Two-handed weapons are stronger but significantly slower, while One-handed weapons are slightly weaker but faster to attack with.

Also, regardless of the type, Melee Weapons can sometimes instantly execute an enemy if used when they are off-guard.

Be sure to keep an eye on the durability of your weapon before engaging. Breaking your Melee Weapon mid-combo can be dangerous especially if you are fighting against an infected enemy like Clickers or Stalkers.

How to Get Melee Weapons

Pick up from the ground!

Melee weapons can sometimes be found lying around on the ground or dropped by enemies. Only one item of this type can be held at a time, so be sure to use them, or else the other melee weapons you see will go to waste!
