Best melee weapon now ?

[MasterDragoOn[QC]]

Wich weapon are the best one in melee now ?

[Old Snake]

chainsaw/auto-axe and its not even close, no other melee compares to their dps, i main hybrid commando melee ( both maxed out with legendary perks ) and my auto axe far out dpes my main gun ( railway ) lol, i can easily solo earli with it without any buffs let that sink in

[Traveler]

Only 89 but my fav is a flaming longbar chainsaw! Only problem is it wears out way to fast even with the perk card.

[PotatoBasket]

Faster Swing Speed legendary effect, except on auto weapons.

You'll probably hear auto-axe or chainsaw a lot but I don't consider them melee, they are more short range auto guns/flamers using AP instead of ammo.....
True melee are the unarmed, 1h, 2h. These allow you to run between targets and most importantly, block.
Special mention to Deathclaw Gauntlet and Meat Hook unarmed. They are bugged (I think) to allow boosts from unnamed and 1h perks/mutations.

I tested the Meat Hook a few months back and it does not. If folks are still claiming this works there may be an exploit with equipping the perks/weapon that results in it working, but I was unable to benefit from it by just standard usage.

For true melee, Unarmed Gauntlet/Death claw gauntlet/Bear arm with the legendary Exploding palm perk.

Armed melee has more Legendary Perks to enhance them to my knowledge, provided you plan your build and don't mind using VATS with melee - also that you're willing to sacrifice the other legendary card spot for it (I was not). For 1 hand your best is likely a faster swing speed plasma cutter though I'm not sure if you use VATS. VATS melee is weird. Not the fun weird. For two handed it varies vastly, as a correctly made Gulper Smacker can outperform all other 2-handed weapons specifically and only in regard to the Gulper mobs (at par for ghouls).

If you go auto VATS is a lot more reasonable; try to make sure you have enhanced power attack as the standard for autos is power attack. An AP regen effect is must for a truly great auto weapon, as well.... be sure to perk Adrenaline to enjoy a true chainsaw massacre. A little too much gore for me but have at 'er n good luck.

I want to play with one power armor because its more like fallout for me.

I think i will switch for short range like flammethrower because melee weapon look really bad and i dont have play on the season 11 so i dont have the auto axe plans anyways.

Can still get the chainsaw plans ? Flammethrower can be good in this game or its bad ?

If you want to use PA I'd suggest 2h, the War Glaive for same reasons as Plasma Cutter (Daily ops plans) or any really with 40% power attack legendary effect.

Reason is this. In PA you can have the optimised bracers mod on the arms to lower power attack AP usage. PA also gives a bonus to melee damage, around 20% I think. Sprinting into an attack counts as a power attack (most fun IMO). Spam power attacks with 2h as they are slow anyway.

The flamethrower on the other hand is a really powerful weapon and also a good option for short range combat. It is a good paring with melee builds as for melee you want the twisted muscles mutation that lowers gun accuracy. The loss of accuracy is actually a benefit as you'll cover a larger area. The downside is high fuel consumption.

Its one mod for mini gun :O

[Prismaa]

Shredder minigun used to be good, think it got slight nerf so it now uses AP, it used not to, but its still good, doesn't change that much since chainsaw and autoaxe both use AP too

A mini gun with the shredder mod and no ammo can be used as a melee weapon. Just spin it up and run into stuff with it.

If you go this route, you want to have the basher perk card equipped in strength category as it buffs shredder damage.

I swear by my +bash vamp's shredder but I've been told that the auto-axe/chainsaw out damages it. Although that's not my experience, it possibly does with the right perks, but is more perk intensive than the shredder. Also, the shredder doesn't wear out from use like the auto-axe does which is a huge plus IMHO

[Prismaa]

Yeaah, i been using chainsaw and even with the perks that stuff breaks 50% less, it goes from 100% to 0% in like single event lol

The reason why autoaxe pulls well ahead of shredder is because you can use VATS with the autoaxe. Outside of VATS they are probably pretty even.

Heck, using VATS would just make the AP loss that much worse..
Anything smaller than a Sheepsquatch melts in seconds anyway, not sure what good VATS would do except with bosses

Minerva will be selling the plasma cutter plan during her big sale event from Jan-12th to Jan-16th. This plan is otherwise only available from Daily Ops random rewards.

Unstoppable monster is only available from Daily Ops random rewards. If you can't get it, get Face Breaker, a legendary power fist that is awarded very early in the Steel Reign quest line. Both weapons have the same base damage and can do +40% power attack damage.
