The melee build brings to mind the old adage, "Don't bring a knife to a gun fight." Once Human is all about guns. Can you do melee? Sure. I have a group I play with regularly and one of them is devoted to their sword. They score lowest in every fight. They lock the boss in one spot instead of allowing the team to pull the boss to where the terrain is better for us. This build relies on the shotgun and/or crossbow so it is not, in fact, a melee build.
In case you can't decide if you want to play this build, after trying it, I can say it is really fun to play UNTIL you encounter A: Bosses, B: Enemies with a riot shield (like those you often encounter in Vulture bases) or C: Anything that flies. In those cases you need to rely on your other weapons, which will deal very little damage because your build doesn't really buff them. All in all, I can only recommend you to play this build if you are playing in a group with people using a ranged build
