Adding more weapons (melee)

Need more details like E.g.

Axe:
Button 1: single swing 40 damage, no combo
Button1: hold next to outside of boat to drive axe into side, does not cause hole but does allow you to hitch a ride and wait for a better boarding opp.
Button 2: works like sword block but does not block thrown knifes.

Not saying the above is a good idea but need more content to comment on howmnew weapons would fit in the meta.

Adding an axe and a pike would be a great addition to the game.

Ok. Any Why though?
Like many weapons added before...The guns (ones that shoot fast with high damage output) will always be chosen overall. So any CQ weapons will be forgotten.
