Best melee weapon locations?

[omegazeda]

I want to know where i can get Taiga Machete and Soviet combat knife.

[EzPaz(Niyaniya's dog)]

Soviet combat knife are sometime can be found on caravan with car.

Although I haven't run into Taiga Machete

[omegazeda]

ok thnx, ill keep looking.

The knife can be found in caravans, but it's rare, and the machete is even rarer than that. I first encountered it in Dead City in the bunker, but never seen it in on a trader. According to devs there is no level scaling so it should be possible to get it at any point, it just depends on RNG.

The Taiga is on one of the thugs in main city on the barge near the strip club.
If you kill them you get the knife....

Its behind the guarded door.....

[La Bourlingue]

I believe there is a guaranteed soviet war knife in the mountain pass bunker entryway in the lockers but it's a huge expense getting there early. in this run I got it at Lvl 3 randomly at the krasno weapon dealer for a bit over a thousand rubbles.

Lenin's wrath is also avaible after you deal with mutant scrapyard quest.
