Melee weapons are designed for close-quarter combat and can effectively keep enemies at bay while finishing them off with ranged weapons. Some melee weapons are powerful enough to cut through several enemies at once. Selecting the appropriate weapon for each situation is important as their damage values may differ.

The sequel offers a variety of melee weapons, including:

• Axe: A weapon returning from the first game that can sever limbs. An ideal starting weapon for beginners.
• Cattle Prod: This weapon stuns enemies that come too close.
• Chainsaw: A versatile weapon that doubles down as a tool to chop trees.
• Crafted Spear: A weapon with good handling that inflicts moderate melee damage.
• Guitar is a less durable weapon that can be used to club down enemies.
