\n

You\u2019ll often find yourself engaged in melee battles in your Rimworld runs, so you\u2019d want to equip your pawns with the best available melee weapons. While guns and other ranged items are handy, their upkeep and ammo needs can be pretty costly. Using melee weapons can preserve your resources, but it\u2019s more dangerous. Using the right equipment can ensure your Pawn\u2019s survival while also winning most engagements.<\/p>\n

Which Melee Weapons to Use in Rimworld<\/h2>\n

This list is based on the usage of steel as the primary material. The stats for each weapon will increase if you use Uranium. Here are the best weapons to use in Rimworld:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Zeus Hammer <\/strong>\u2013 9.82 DPS | 66% Armor Piercing | EMP Effect on hit<\/li>\n
  2. Plasma Sword<\/strong> \u2013 7.65 DPS | Set on Fire on hit<\/li>\n
  3. Mono Sword <\/strong>\u2013 11.45 DPS | 118% Armor Piercing\u00a0<\/li>\n
  4. Power Claw <\/strong>\u2013 11 DPS<\/li>\n
  5. Hand Talon <\/strong>\u2013 10 DPS<\/li>\n
  6. Mace<\/strong> \u2013 7.01 DPS w\/ Armor Piercing | 35.06% Armor Piercing<\/li>\n
  7. Longsword <\/strong>\u2013 7.96 DPS | 47.44% Armor Piercing<\/li>\n
  8. Gladius<\/strong> \u2013 7.13 DPS\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Note: <\/strong>These are the best ones for Vanilla Rimworld. If you\u2019re using any mods, then it\u2019s best to review the stats of any additional items from those downloads.<\/p>\n

    Linking up with a Persona enhances the DPS and Armor Piercing of your weapons. It\u2019s highly advantageous for your pawns to link up with the AI Personas even if they\u2019re not that friendly. However, you should only consider doing this for your units that are mainly melee-based.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
