Best Melee Ideas I've Seen Edit: And Ranged

[Visarogo]

and maybe how to work them

 

Flails ( bonus against armored?)

Spears (not staves)

nunchuka

 

scythe (2h bonus against unarmored and range) 

 

sword and board (rechargeable shield that does full block against projectiles) (could also put spears in this too)

 

ranged weapons:

throwing blades

 

laser weapons (would need a niche but i feel like this would either be shields or armor bypass but the boltor bolto ignores armor so likely shields)

Thrown weapons... In a melee thread... You sure about that?

 

Whips.

 

Hooked blades (Extra stun)

 

 

Bolas

oooo whips sound bueno... ill see it and raise you to whip swords or even a kunai on chain

 

also hooked blades maybe could do ignore armor or something along those lines... 

 

bola's i feel would be more of a ability than an item 

(glaive charge is a thrown if my understanding is correct)

I would like to have the Roller.. it's melee..

DE said they wanted throwable weapons in the game and probably in the pistol slot.

 

 

Push Dagger (Katar)

 

Rapier (or something like a dueling weapon; Estoc etc.)

 

Sai

 

Samjigun (Three Sectioned Staff, like a big nunchuk)

 

Something like the Grineer Sawman's Saw

 

And maybe soemthing that shows off the Tenno hand to hand combat better, like modified brass knuckles with martial arts-ish strikes

Ah, I remember posting in a topic about getting a shield.

I envisioned it to be something like this - 

 

I'd love to have a longsword and a shield.

Or even just a shield that can be activated/deactivated, and used in conjunction with your guns.

Mechanical animal heads on our fists

 

Scourge

 

Scorpion tail kinda thing

 

Lance

 

Sickle

 

Claws

 

Chainsaw

 

Dual clubs

 

Trident

 

Element based gauntlets for Ember/Volt/Frost/Any eventual AP frame that just surrounds your hands in a nimbus of energy of the appropriate type

 

A half broken blade (extra damage from jagged edges, less reach)

 

A rolled up newspaper (deals next to no damage, temporarily stuns foes because they are simply too baffled)

I'd want power gauntlets as ranged weapons, hehe. Kamehameha and all that.

repulsor beams ^^ 

 

also any kind of 1h besides swords would be cool sickles kamas clubs axes etc but 1h

katars and rapiers are easy enough they just slightly different animations for 1h swords and daggers... would be cool sai's same thing could give bonus block or armor since theyre more defensive
