Melee items are a type of weapon category that Players always have, even with weapon restrictions. They can only do damage to another player if the user is standing to a close/medium range to him/her. These weapons are either sharp or just blunt, and are used to hurt enemies by hitting them with it. Melee weapons are generally considered the lightest weapons save for grenades, (though some Pistols and Submachine Gun have, somehow
, higher portabilities than the default M9 Combat Knife) and do not use ammunition for reasons that should be rather obvious. All melee weapons ignore AP. The main attack of these weapons are weak, but players can attack again quickly; secondary attacks are slower, but they deal more damage. Their use is generally for running faster, or for quiet (or humiliating) kills without alerting nearby enemies, though it does require the user to be very close to the target and is very risky. When people fight each other with melee weapons, they are said to be knife fighting. Melee weapons are frequently used to kill the Super Spy along with Sniper Rifles.
Melee weapons cannot be picked up when their users have died/been killed.
Melee Only[]
A Weapon Restriction type called Melee Only allows only the usage of Melee weapons. Shifting is an exploit for Melee Only and is considered bannable, although it is yet often employed in Melee Only.
