What are your favourite Sci-fi melee weapons?

Maybe something like Jayce's Hammer/Arc Cannon from League of Legends.

 

Pile bunkers. This includes any sort of mechanically assisted punching tool (including those previously mentioned.) Somewhat impractical for a meatbag on foot, generally popular for mecha or powered armor of some sort. Incidentally, heavy armor could be used as a melee weapon (tackle, punches, etc. are based on force, F=ma you do the mass I can't be arsed. ) Multifunctional equipment is always handy (rotary saw + pickax?)

....Let me use my friends as weapons, River City style. Or any other suitably thwack-worthy critter (rat-flail?) I would also be in favour of some sort of grapple, from the Scorpion wire style to the flying Kirby suplex (no idea how this or unarmed fighting would work in a game like Starbound.) Other than that, its all pretty well been said: add energy application (fire, rocket propulsion, electricity, lasers) of some sort, unusual metals, space critter parts....

Oh yeah, there's always kitchen implements. Nothing says "I'ma brain you" like a comically oversized fry pan. Especially if you were witness to the last person to get hit with one.

 

I want King Deedee's hammer.
And a shirt, I want to hit people with armor.

 

Any form of Chainsaw/Chainsaw Katana/Chainsword and all those kinds of brutal melee gems.

 

Swordguns.
Sword guns are awesome.
And no im not talking about guns that shoot swords
I mean swords with guns on them.

 

Does this count as sci-fi?

 

Nahh!
i got a giga drill in my backyard, don't you?

 

Those are actual real-life non-sci-fi weapons (except not as large)

 

Here are a few i like.....

Knives from Chronicles of Riddik




The Z Sword from Dragonball Z..




world of warcraft sword of a thousand truths...




world of warcraft illidan sword

 

this game needs MOAR SCYTHES

 

Lmao, I loved that thing. But it was really annoying fighting Caesar's legion when they were all equipped with them and swarming in large groups.

 

TTGL rules. FunnyJunk sucks.

Link or it didn't happen

 

I think a nice addition would be a tazer. Even though there's the laser glove I think the tazer would be a lower tech item so that you won't instantly find on of these power gloves that can stun th enemy. Other than that I believe someone mentioned the moonlight great sword, I would that in the game or any sword that can fire an energy like link's sword when he's at full hearts.

 

Sorry, I just did an image search for Giga Drill Breaker.

 

Could use this [LINK]

 

Automatically flags you for pvp if you say "don't taze me, bro!"

 

Predator's wrist blades FTW!

 

Ahahaha hey man imagine how fun it might be to tazing people. Although the cool down needs to be little long so that there's no taze lock or shock resistant clothing would be nice.

 

Oh, I loved that series. If something like that could be implemented it would be amazing.
