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.
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.
