There is a surprising diversity in this category, but they are all tools that must be used in a very close proximity of the target. The Base-ball Bat, Penatator, and Nocturne are all bat-type weapons that deal lower physical damage but never need to be reloaded or cooled down. The Stun Gun provides temporary incapacitation but it won’t remove the threat in front of you. The really exciting melee weapons are the Woodsman, which supplies up-close gory dismemberment, and the Apoca-Fist, which blows people up on contact.
