More Melee weapon types

  • Hey there.
    I'd love to make a suggestion, let's talk about having more weapon types for melee.
    At the moment we have 3 guns and only 1 melee weapons. And sure the cutlass is nice and all but I'd love some more variaty.

    Boarding Axe
    The Boarding Axe or just Axe would be a great weapon with just a 1 or 2 hit combo but more damage per hit then the Cutlass. The Charge attack could be something like a cone swipe with knockback or even a full Spin attack.

    Rapier
    The Rapier would be a lighter weapon then the Cutlass but has a bigger combo. It does less damage then the normal sword combo but lasts a bit longer so the stun lock will give your friends more time to act. The downside of this is that you need to aim better because there's no swipe, only a stab.
    The charge attack can be a flurry of blows.

    Chain Hook
    One of my personal Favorites I was thinking of what to use as a reach weapon and found that the trusty chain hook was actually used by pirates (not just Ninjas)
    The Chain hook would be great for those blunderbuss people because you can keep your distance and still melee. Downside would be that this weapon has a blindspot (if they get close you need to move back a bit to hit them)
    Charge attack would be a wide sweep with knockback to keep those pesky pirates at bay.

    Got any suggestions?

  • plank of wood with a nail in it

    A homemade baseball ball with maybe like an ornament roped on at the top

    a broken bottle "from the message in the bottles"

    a peg leg

  • Personally I think whatever item we are holding at the time should be able to be used as a melee weapon, including guns. Run out of ammo? Pistol whip that scoundrel. Some would just do less damage. I'd love to be able to smash a banana on someone's face

  • @rockinpodunk Or bananas as weapons (Mario Kart style). Who wouldn't want to watch a Skelly Capt. comically flail on the beach or a Legend go sailing off his ship?

  • And if we could use planks as a melee weapon, maybe you only get 2 or 3 hits before the plank breaks, and weaponized bananas would only be a one time use, making for a consumable weapon dynamic
