V can unlock their inner God/Goddess of Thunder, wielding a makeshift version of Mjolnir with the Agaou, an axe that increases Shock chance by 10%, with an increased throw recovery. 30% of damage from Agaou is converted into Electrical damage, which means more chances of Shocking enemies, which can come in handy for those who just can’t help but throw their weapons at enemies like the Voodoo Boys, giving them a bout of Shock. Combined with the shockwaves caused by Critical Hits, players can easily handle a room full of enemies with just one melee weapon.

Bring out the Lina Malina merch and hit it out of the park with style, asthe Baby Boomer is a fast-swinging baseball batthat will have foes reeling from its blunt trauma. The Baby Boomer hits hard, and the more players attack with combos, the more the Crit Chance will stack until it reaches 100%, promising that every swing will provide extra damage to its already stellar blunt capabilities. It’s fairly easy to obtain, so long as players sacrifice morals and keep Tool’s mind scrambled into thinking he’s Lina Malina.
One-Handed Club
Hits against a knocked-down enemy increase attack speed. Strong attacks deal more damage.

Tough decisions must be madeduring the Firestarter mission, but if players want to get their hands on Murphy’s Law, then they need to side with Songbird and kill Albert Murphy to take hold of his weapon.
Whilst it might not seem like anything special, the fact that it provides a bonus to Bleeding, Stun, and Shock, makes it a competent weapon. The addition of increased attack speed to those who have been knocked down also makes it a great weapon for bullying others.
Machete
Grants a chance to inflict a unique Burn on the enemy. Hitting an enemy affected by this Burn always deals Crit Damage. The more enemies simultaneously affected by this Burn, the more Crit Damage you deal but at the cost of accuracy.

Machetes can often be violent in the way they hack and slash at the foes of V, and the Volkodav is no exception to this,providing V with a banned Techtronika weaponthat is capable of combustion. This weapon is great in hordes, as players can ignite multiple enemies with ease, and see a bonus to Crit Damage for the more enemies that are currently burning, so maybe try this one out the next time enemies overwhelm the player.
Attacks at high Stamina have a greatly increased Crit Chance. Packs a few extra inches for improved range. Attacks deal more damage, both physical an psychological.

Some players might feel left out after dealing with Meredith Stout, and realizing that they’re never going to get their hands on Sir John Phallustiff. Luckily for them, Update 2.1 brought about asecret iconic melee weaponinCyberpunk 2077, and everyone can get their hands on the BFC 9000, which stands for something too rude to say.
The weapon itself is comedic in the fact it vibrates, has extended range thanks to its length, and of course, has a 69% increase in Crit Chance and attack speed. It’s a great counter to Sir John Phallustiff and definitely provides some inappropriate giggles.
Katana
Deals extra damage against bosses. After killing enemies in rapid succession, all attacks are temporarily guaranteed Crit Hits. The effect refreshes after quickly killing another enemy. If your Health is critically low, all attacks are guaranteed Crit Hits regardless of kills.

Headshot Damage Multiplier
Those who ownThe Witcher 3: Wild Huntcan receive an amazing reward for one of the best melee weapons inCyberpunk 2077. The Gwynbleidd looks like it was dropped by Ciri herself as she crosses universes, and it should be adored by V, who can expect a 10% increase in damage output against boss enemies, which works very well for those who enjoy getting a close-up. Players don’t just have to rely on the boss perk, as the iconic modifier also allows for extended damage when killing 2 or more enemies. It’s a great weapon for those who love to fight and won’t stop even when their health is critically below 25%, as they see this blood loss as a reward for more violence.
Increase melee attack speed by 100%, but reduce damage output by 40%.

Embrace the inner Gordon Freeman with the trusty crowbar, a weapon that can only be acquired once, and through a specific path of play.Players must side with Solomon Reed, and they must have 20 Body points to open a locked door. Doing so, players canfind the Crowbar, and enjoy its severely dangerous swing speed. Players might be disappointed by its reduced damage output, but the fact players can hit without stopping between light-attacks, makes it well worth it, but the addition of stamina drain might make some players want to skip this one unless they’re keen fans ofHalf-Lifeor brutal blunt weapons.
Knife
Thrown hits cripples the target, preventing their escape. Continuing attacks in close combat increases the damage.

Battle against theleader of Dogtown himself, Kurt Hansen, and receive the Fang throwable knife as a reward, a great weapon in the right hands. Kurt Hansen is a brutal soldier, and a cunning leader who fights with tactical brawn, and players can possess those skills by using his knife. Players can slash their targets for an increase of 33% damage, but only when they are slowed from a knife throw. Throwing this knife is always a smart idea, as it effectively traps enemies, forcing them to remain an unwilling target.
