Best melee for Sociopath?
pls don't discuss that other perk decks are better because i love this one, i just need a melee with the highest dps to go with it

I tried to use the fire axe but its too slow and the bat is too weak.

What is the best dlc melee for sociopath? ♥♥♥♥ i wish i had money

No it really doesn't. The greatsword from the chivalry pack is about as fast, and does a hair more damage. Personally, I go for the mace due it's combination of really decent attack speed, damage, and not to much of a concealment penalty, unlike the bigger weapons.

I heard that sword swings as fast as Gage trying to run with his legs
The hell you talking about son.

This is clearly not the case, well from his case it might be because of mods altering weapon values and ect, but if we go by the base game. Katana is clearly faster than Greatsword, though greatsword has a lot more knockdown. Geez, you can't base info around mods Ambosen.

err wut the katana is incredibly fast its has pretty much the highest dps out of all the melee weapons bar the mother forker the greatsword is incredibly slow

for a scoiciopath build the katana is the best weapon it can ohk any enemy on overkill apart from dozers with pumping iron aced and it being fully charged. you just need to learn how long each charge is for each enemy a green unit requires a quick charge while tazers need about 2 secounds

assuming your using a socipaths regen ability berserk basic is useless here

The fact that there isn't enough of a difference between the katana and greatsword as far as swing speed and charged swing speed to really make much of a difference between them. I've used both, I end up trading out both for a melee weapon I can swing 2-3 times in the time of one swing from either. Like well... Pretty much anything but the spear of freedom or them.

Are you high? The katana is twice as fast. There's no possible way you can't notice that. Just count the number of swings you can get out of both for 10 seconds, you should be getting around 18 for the katana and 9 for the greatsword.

In this case, I'm not the one doing so. Katana, spear of freedom, and Greatsword have some of the longest swing speeds in the stock game, *without* any mods installed. Furthermore, the animationns for all of them are slow enough that at least the non specials can and will evade hits they'd otherwise take with most other weapons due to their lower swing speeds.

Well, since sociopath is based on number of hits rather than damage dealt, the Psycho Knife is probably one of the better ones. It's really fast and does decent damage.

Katana, or the switchblade/trenchknife if you need the extra concealment for crits/dodge. Personally I like to pair sociopath up with a light armour fugitive build.

You're thinking of Infiltrator. Sociopath gives a 10% health regen per melee kill.

Fire Axe if you want to kill as well.

Sociopath is based on kills, not damage or hits
