Buying melee weapons early game?

[Swift]

Hi!

It seems like most weapon types have a corresponding weapons vendor in the early-game, but I can't find any melee weapons. Did I miss something, or is there a shopkeeper who sells blunt/bladed weapons?

There isn't but you can buy them in most stores, if not every store. What's your specialization, bladed or blunt?

The vendor near the courthouse sells nice melee weapons.

Bladed. I checked the shotgun vendor ijn Camptown, Cole's gadgets, the gunsmith, and the armor vendor. Did I miss anyone?

OH, right! Thanks :)

It would be nice if you could buy an entry level axe so blade users could get their critical strike weapon (with the +10 modifier) at the start of the game like the blunt users have.

I think part of the reason blunt is, so far, the superior melee option is in part related to the multiple options they have right at the start of the game: you have your fast weapons, critical strike weapons, two-handed multi-target weapon, etc. Bladed has the combat knife, the chopper you get at the very end of the arena and little else.

I'm sure that the solo blunt users would be singing a different tune if the sledgehammer was not available right at the start of the game, so why not give more options to the blade user as well?

Meh. Not really. When I first beat the game, I didn't even know Sledgehammer was a thing until Vince told me. I used the blunt weapon that you get from killing the two thugs outside apartment thoughout the entire playthrough.

Cracked a lot of skulls with it - not too shabby. Only issue though is that I couldn't swing with it. So fighting big groups was tough.
