However, since they’re so easy to get, we recommend upgrading them to get the highest damage output possible. Specifically, at Level 20, Knuckle Dusters deal 129 points of damage. They do not have any in-built Weapon Mods or Mutators.

The Ornate Flail is one of the most complex Remnant 2 melee weapons to acquire. However, its higher damage output makes it worth the fight. This weapon is a mighty mace that’s lightweight and easy to wield.

When using the Flail, you’ll find that it trades stagger damage for Critical Hit Chance. At Level 20, its damage output increases to 189.

Additionally, this spear has an in-built Weapon Mod that lets you charge up attacks. Charged attacks take up 25 Stamina and allow you to throw the spear a certain distance. The spear will then return to you.

This weapon has the Krell Edge Weapon Mod that lets you charge the axe. Then, you can throw the axe and apply the Overloaded state to the axe on hit. The axe will then deal 50 Shock Damage in 2 spurts, with each damage burst happening after every 5 seconds.

After throwing the axe, another similar Krell Axe appears in your hand. This Weapon Mod costs 25 Stamina to cast. The Mod cannot be moved, and another one cannot be added. But you can apply any Mutator you like.

Special Remnant 2 melee weapons are more potent than regular melee weapons. Additionally, all of them have built-in Weapon Mods. These increase the power of the weapons but cannot be swapped out or used on other weapons. You can still customize the Mutator.

Assassin’s Dagger

• Damage: 41
• Weak Spot Damage: +110%
• Critical Hit Chance: -3%
• Stagger Modifier: -15%
• How To Get: You can craft it at Nimue.

The Assassin’s Dagger is a powerful yet stealthy dagger designed to kill enemies one by one silently. It deals a nominal amount of single-target damage and features its own Weapon Mod.

The Weapon Mode is called Bloodthirst. When you hit enemies that have the Bleeding status debuff on them, you deal 25% more damage. Additionally, this damage increases further when you hit them from the back.

And that’s not all. Charged melee attacks against enemies deal 200 additional Bleeding damage over 10 seconds. However, it doesn’t feature any default Mutator. And the damage scaling is very weak, with the max Level being 10. And at Level 10, its damage output is only 82.

Atom Splitter

• Damage: 100
• Weak Spot Damage: +90%
• Critical Hit Chance: 5%
• Stagger Modifier: 6%
• How To Get: Inside the Putrid Domain (N’erud), go to the part with the catwalks. When the robotic manipulator picks up a platform, you must hop onto the platform and get to the catwalk directly overhead. Then, keep going until you find the Atom Splitter.

The Atom Splitter is a much-needed upgrade from the Atom Smasher. Thanks to its Fission Strike Weapon Mod, this weapon can split straight down atoms and cause nuclear reactions.

The Mod makes the Atom Splitter release a wave of stored nuclear energy upon a Neutral Evade. This wave travels for 20 meters and inflicts 150 damage to all enemies in the area. Charged Neutral Evade Attacks will also boost the wave range threefold and the damage by a quarter.

The Mod cannot be removed but feel free to experiment with the Mutator. At Level 10, the damage of this weapon doubles to 200 damage.

• Weapon Mod: Fission Strike
• Mutator: None

Dreamcatcher

• Damage: 58
• Weak Spot Damage: +95%
• Critical Hit Chance: 5%
• Stagger Modifier: 3%
• How To Get: Go to the Losomn region and find the Asylum. Give the Nightweaver Stone Doll to the Nightweaver’s Web. You’ll get the Dreamcatcher in return.

The Dreamcatcher is a powerful staff that takes care of several enemies at once and deals damage in an area. It features the Dreamwave Weapon Mod, which enhances the next Charge Attack after you deal 250 points worth of damage.

The Charge Attack will let out a Dreamwave, an energy wave that travels up to 20 meters and then returns to you.

This wave slows down enemies for about 10 seconds. Additionally, every enemy hit grants you a stack of Reverie. Every Reverie stack boosts your damage and Movement Speed by 2%.

Moreover, the Dreamcatcher can be used outside battle on certain sleeping NPCs and enemies such as the Huntress and Nimue.

• Weapon Mod: Dreamwave
• Mutator: None

Feral Judgment

• Damage: 53
• Weak Spot Damage: +110%
• Critical Hit Chance: 13%
• Stagger Modifier: -15%
• How To Get: You can craft this gauntlet at McCabe’s Store for one Ravager’s Maw, 650 Scrap, and 7 Lumenite Crystal.

Feral Judgment is a set of gloves capable of landing rapid swipes at enemies. These feature sharp blades from a special crystal that can take down an enemy instantly. It features the Death Sentence Mod.

The Mod enhances your gauntlets after you have landed six successful hits with them over 10 seconds. A Death Sentence is applied for every Neutral Backdash Charge Attack during this state.

As soon as 15 seconds pass from being sentenced, the foe will receive 10 Phantom Strikes that land 25 damage each. Bleeding enemies will receive 25% more harm than usual.

• Weapon Mod: Death Sentence
• Mutator: None

Godsplitter

• Damage: 38
• Weak Spot Damage: +50%
• Critical Hit Chance: 2%
• Stagger Modifier: -20%
• How To Get: You’ll need to gather a Melded Hilt, 650 Scrap, and 7 Lumenite Crystals to craft this weapon at the McCabe Store.

Godsplitter appears to be extremely weak. However, when you discover its Weapon Mod, you’ll soon realize its power. Its unique Weapon Mod is called Fracture, which enhances your Charge Attacks.

After casting a Charge Attack, all of your melee attacks from Godsplitter will be Weakspot hits. This effect lasts 2 seconds, but the duration can increase if the number of fragments increases. The maximum period of this state is 35 seconds with max fragments.

With its Weak Spot Damage bonus of +50%, you can understand why this weapon is so powerful.

• Weapon Mod: Fracture
• Mutator: None

Hero’s Sword

• Damage: 51
• Weak Spot Damage: +90%
• Critical Hit Chance: 5%
• Stagger Modifier: -10%
• How To Get: This is the initial melee weapon if you choose the Explorer Archetype.

Hero’s Sword is a mighty sword with a relatively weaker Weapon Mod. But considering that it’s the starting weapon for the Explorer Archetype, just the fact that it has a Weapon Mod in the first place is enough to overpower it.

This sword has the Energy Wave Weapon Mod, which allows you to release a wave of energy that damages all enemies it hits with every Charge Attack. This significantly increases your range and lets you take on enemy hordes. It does take up 35 Stamina, though.

• Weapon Mod: Energy Wave
• Mutator: None

Nightshade

• Damage: 47
• Weak Spot Damage: +110%
• Critical Hit Chance: 18%
• Stagger Modifier: -20%
• How To Get: You’ll need to acquire a Nightweaver’s Finger, 7 Lumenite Crystal, and 650 Scrap to craft Nightshade at the McCabe Store.

Nightshade is a set of gauntlets that damage a single target but with extreme speed and agility. These have the “Beyond The Veil” Weapon Mod.

The Beyond The Veil Weapon Mod turns you into a shadow assassin. Through this Mod, your Neutral Evades turn you into amist. Not only does this enhance your dodging abilities, but it also grants a 5% Lifesteal. This means that 5% of Nightshades base damage gets converted into your HP. This effect only lasts 5 seconds.

Moreover, when you do a Perfect Dodge, the Lifesteal buff lasts 10 seconds instead.

• Weapon Mod: Beyond The Veil
• Mutator: None

Red Doe Staff

• Damage: 62
• Weak Spot Damage: +95%
• Critical Hit Chance: 3%

It has the Lifeline Weapon Mod that releases the Red Doe spirit once you’ve dealt 250 damage and cast a Charge Attack. The Red DOe spirit moves forward in a straight line, healing 10% of your allies’ Health and dealing 160 damage to foes.

This is a healing weapon that is best used by the Medic class. Check out our best Medic build guide to learn more about the Medic class.

The shockwaves deal 115 damage to enemies in the area, but you’ll need 35 Stamina to cast them. This Weapon Mod cannot be changed, nor can you remove it from this weapon. You can, however, experiment with the Mutator.

• Weapon Mod: Faultline

Gas Gaint is a massive hammer designed to deal heavy corrosive damage to enemies. It does not back out when it comes to melting foes instantly.

This melee weapon comes with the Dying Breath Weapon Mod that cannot be unequipped or swapped out. When you infuse it, the Neutral Backdash Charge Attacks will detonate in a 3-meter radius.

These deal damage to all enemies in the area. Additionally, a cloud of acid damages all enemies and lasts about 15 seconds.

• Weapon Mod: Dying Breath
• Mutator: None
