Oh, Baby! belongs on this list for sure. I'm still sort of debating in my head over adding the Chain Saw or Thermic Lance to the list as well.

Top tier melee weapons are the Super Sledge (and its unique variant, Oh Baby!) and Theramic Lance.
Combat knives (and Chance's knife) are also good if paired with the cowboy perk and other melee perks, especially if you pair it with the Grunt perk, although that perk is only available with DLC. Do DLC perks count?

"thingamabob" "thang" "teh" "fancy schmancy"
Please kill yourself

As for best melee weapons, Oh Baby is the only decent one. Some other ones that are 'technically' the best, but are actually terrible are Knock Knock, Protonic Inversal Axe, Thermic Lance (Chainsaw is better if you have GRA) and Gehenna (GRA).

That is only including "Melee" weapons. There are also some decent Unarmed weapons.

Ima let it count. Most people will be playing with DLC anyway. I'm only restricting the list to non-DLC weapons.

Yup. Plus it's relatively easy to acquire if you have a shovel and something for Cazadores.

you can just safely sneak over the mountain/hills by the cazador road and jump down and dig the grave without having to kill anything

Other than Oh Baby at #1, this is totally wrong.

Because not everything is positive.
We can disagree and be negative all we want.
