Melee Weapons

Melee Weapons are Weapons in the Wastelands that are used in hand-to-hand combat. They are in two categories: Bladed and Blunt. All Melee weapons use Strength to determine their effectiveness.

Bladed Weapons
Bladed weapons are weapons that damage via cutting and shredding, and focus on the speed and grace of the user to obtain effectiveness in combat. Bladed weapons are typically much more effective against non-armored or lightly-armored targets. These weapons are more likely to cause bleeding on the target upon successful hit than their Blunt counterparts.

Blunt Weapons
Blunt weapons are weapons that damage via shock and breaking, and focus on the overall strength and dexterity of the user to obtain effectiveness in combat. Blunt weapons are typically much more effective on mechanical, or armored opponents. These weapons are more likely to cripple the target upon successful hit than their Bladed counterparts.
