Melee weapons for the glory of super earth

[Siegmaw Reezler]

It would be nice to have melee weapons that are kind of weak but still better than just rifle-butting.

I'm not expecting to one shot Titans or Bot-tanks, but maybe cleave trash-mobs like commisars/troopers and scavengers/small hunters in a swing? Maybe 2?

Swings take stamina, deal pretty low/mediocre damage but looks cool and is satisfying and a little better than the melee we have right now.
Combat-knives, machetes, axes, hammers, sledges, shovels. You know basic tools that actually have a use and could fit in the Helldivers universe as part of our loadout for a mission.

Sexy

There was once a power saber in the first helldivers but only in a super earth challenge scenario. This is honestly the perfect time for a Crazy melee based weapon or at the very least Strategem. Who knows we might even get the very old Prototype Melee Exo to Stomp ♥♥♥♥ around.

Oh wow, sweet. I mean, I'd settle for less than that as long as it's better than butting with your gun.

I hope not.

I've been chainsawed more than once by those damn Berserkers, be nice to return the favor.

A bayonet would make some of the rifles useful-ish

Having a one handed sword to go with the ballistic shield would be nice, especially if that giant hunk of metal starts doing what shields do and starts blocking melee hits too.

I have no idea what that is. I just want bagpipes.
