Chainsaw
The Chainsaw is a weapon good for close combat and rushing into people as it deals great damage. It's capable of killing enemies in 3 swings or under a second with the M2 ability. It is also good for movement, as its ability grants the user extra movement speed when the M2 button is held.
Fists
The Fists are a weapon that is very useful in getting on your ground after firing at the enemy, and also good for cancelling out unnecessary shoot cooldowns or reload cooldowns for weapons like the Sniper. This is the default melee weapon that you get for free when you join the game.
