This week's Devblog included some pretty awesome pieces of concept art for new melee weapons. Of the above, which entices you the most?

I'm personally a fan of 2, if it's scavenged, and number 7 if crafted (and honestly, I wouldn't mind them adding both). How do you guys feel about these?

most of them should be randomly found. and be uncraftable

1 and 2. machete is a must, and a big bit of rock on a bit of construction steel just seems right;)

All of them must be in the game. We need variety, pretty boring to always have the same looking handcrafted tomphson, like it was made in a factory.

the rebar club seems good, but it should be a OHK

I like em all but mostly 1 and 6 but i would modify them by adding Cross Guards cos there is no way i'd go to a sword battle without cross guards on my sword you're basically asking to have your fingers/hand cut off.

Weapons like that should have high damage but highly low durability, then you get a weaker metal version which can be used as scrap metal for fragments.

4-8 are awesome but they should also add one from 1-3. My vote if I had to choose 4 is
2, 6, 7, and 8

I like them all, but i chose 6 because of the handle and a decent reach. I think they would all be good, just need to be balanced with weight and size differences. I could see 2 being a 'Whirlwind' style where the user spins in a circle extending it for damage, with a meter for stability and balance; at max gauge the player would stumble.

[Emerald Tiger]

Number 3. lightweight, short reach for combat and demo, simple design. if you can make a concrete barricade this should be a quick and easy item to make.

I want 6, looks really sleek and fun.

5 would have a fun secondary use of gathering wood or hacking of metal. Can't wait to see these weapons in-game.

2 should be usable as a wood gathering tool too

Yeah, 2 looks more like a tool than a weapon.
