Edit: the picture had a guy with a 2hannded hammer or something. Did look awesome if anyone can find it again

Too bad it's highly unlikely we get to use those melee weapons.

hmm sure there is some one we can bribe for them. if they can do them for npc's. not to hard to give them to players.

As most people already said, there is a melee attach, but not any real melee weapons. Though there are a few ego powers that go along with a melee attack.

Though, in a shooter, I can understand the need for a melee or push back attack... but just going melee in a shooter? Maybe it just isn't for me.

Edit: Oh, and there was an instance that they showed on live stream of someone picking up a "temp" or "number of use" weapon that was a big power fist.

Q. Is there a melee attack?

A. Absolutely. You can use both a striking attack (similar to a buttstroke) but also equip certain weapons with melee enhancements like bayonets that will increase melee damage. Certain EGO skills also have melee increases.

The quoted information is from the FAQ thread.

So I can't rock up to a hellbug and punch it in the face then?

You can, it just might bite your fist off.

Excellent, of course I will submit myself to the relevent health and safety brief prior to said hostilities.

No melee weapons, but they have hinted at ways of enhancing your melee damage.

Minor spoiler I guess, but I'd kill for Nims katana.
