This page may be outdated. It is up-to-date for version 0.95A. The latest version is v.N1.
Melee weapons are a crucial part of swashbuckling for your hands, especially during the early part of your piracy career. You'll find yourself lacking any real firearms that pack a decent punch or constantly low on ammunition. Your hands can utilize most firearms found on incapacitated or dead enemies, you'll quickly discover a lack of clips or magazines.
This is where melee weapons come in, and they can pack a whollop of pain at the cost of closing range with the opposing forces. Most melee weapons scale with your hands' statistics, so once you find a good fit for a pirate, they can stick with it until you have access to upgraded forms. Most melee weapons can inflict wounds, so keep this in mind if you are trying to stun enemies because they may bleed out while incapacitated.
Notable mentions regarding close combat is some enemies may be capable of dodging a portion of melee, so accuracy % may not always be completely accurate. Lastly, striking a foe is highly dependent on armor and direction; hitting an enemy in power armor right in the chest is not wise, whereas charging them from behind is much more successful.
It's a BOW. It ain't getting any simpler than that, mate.{NEWLINE} (sic) Skill: THROWING{NEWLINE} (sic) POWER Bonus: THROWING*0.5 + STRENGTH*0.1{NEWLINE} (sic) Aimed Shot Accurate Range Cap (25)

Well a bit dated design, I admit - but it needs no ammo! Be careful with that g-string though, or whatever it's called. It can break yer eye. Oh yeah, and generally better not give this weapon to slow people.{NEWLINE} (sic) POWER Bonus: FIRING*0.1{NEWLINE} (sic) Aimed Shot Accurate Range Cap (20).

Notes:
Purchased through the Black Market once research topic "Contacts: Death Realms' Arena" has been completed.
A perfect tool for spreading chaos and mayhem. Has much better range (15) and area coverage than the standard flamethrower, but the ammo supply is limited to 4 uses per tank.{NEWLINE} (sic) V.Slow Reload (25)

Rumor is, the Confederates use these pistols to kill bears. Canadians point out that a true gentleman prefers a scoped rifle. And has a king, as opposed to a board of wealthiest slave owners.{NEWLINE} (sic) Aimed Shot Accurate Range Cap (20)
