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.
Katana
The Katana is a well balanced melee used by players of all skill levels, it has a solid M1 damage[citation needed, who said that?] and has a unique ability to deflect bullets back at opponents, making it a common choice for countering high-DPS weapons.
