I wrap up my guide on Starfield’s available melee weapons. According to the Reddit thread, the melee combat in-game is not enjoyable for most players because of slow and clunky attack patterns and insufficient options in melee arsenals. I sincerely hope the game developers will address and act on this issue.

Let me know below in the comment section how you’re experiencing Starfield and how many of these weapons you have acquired so far. Happy gaming!
