In this bizarre apocalyptic world, there are not only various types of firearms but also a variety of melee weapons that can bring significant advantages in close combat. Many players who excel and enjoy close-range battles are very interested to know which melee weapons are the strongest. Below is a ranking of melee weapons in the Seven Days World, listing some useful ones. If you're curious, take a look at the recommendations below.

1. Long Axe
The Long Axe is a purple melee weapon. It has an extra damage effect when performing heavy attacks. Each hit on a target increases the critical hit rate by 8%, and the melee swing speed by 5% for 10 seconds, with a maximum of three stacks. This boost, combined with the shield bonus from heavy attacks, makes it tailor-made for melee. To obtain it, go to coordinates 6596-3495. Upon arrival, you will see a small room on the left that requires an access card to open. Defeat all nearby enemies to get the access card and enter the room to obtain the Long Axe blueprint.

2. Frost White Spotted Dogfish
It has a unique appearance, resembling a frozen large fish, with excellent striking feel. The effect is that each charge and heavy attack will freeze the first target and generate an ice vortex. The vortex can take effect once every 4 seconds, and the frozen target will receive additional damage when the ice breaks. Each attack on a target affected by the vortex will also help restore 5% of the lost health, but it will consume an extra 2 stamina points. These effects are very useful in melee duels, as the freezing effect allows multiple hits and healing. To obtain it, input coordinates 5550-7249, and upon arrival, talk to the NPC to purchase a high-grade fishing rod and dough bait. Go to the nearby water to fish, catching a total of 11 White Spotted Dogfish, then go to 7229-105 to buy the blueprint from the NPC and make it at home.

3. Stun Baton
The Stun Baton is also a purple-tier weapon. Its light attacks and charges have an 80% chance to apply surge to the target. When a heavy attack hits a target with the surge anomaly, it will also deal 100% anomaly damage to nearby enemies. This is particularly effective in certain levels. To obtain it, go to coordinates 3666-4452. Upon arrival, enter the building on the right, move forward and to the right to find the elevator. Take the elevator up, and you will find a mysterious chest in the room. Open it to get the Stun Baton blueprint and then craft it at the equipment station.

4. Wrench
The Wrench is a blue melee weapon. A heavy attack will cause blunt trauma, and each hit will increase the base blunt trauma multiplier by 25% based on the remaining stamina. To obtain it, go to 5964-7166. Upon arrival, you will see a ship. Enter the ship and open the chest to get the Wrench.

5. White Spotted Dogfish
It is a blue weapon. Upon hitting, it consumes 5 sanity points, causing blunt trauma and increasing hyper-sense intensity by 5%. This effect lasts for 3 seconds and can stack up to 5 times. However, using it reduces your own sanity, so be sure to monitor your character's status and restore it with gummies or other foods, or avoid using it for long periods. The method to obtain this weapon is the same as for the Frost White Spotted Dogfish, except you need to catch 17 fish to buy the blueprint.
6. Camping Knife
The Camping Knife is a blue weapon. It has a 33% chance to deal an additional 50% melee damage with each successful slash. To obtain it, go to 6363-4637. Upon arrival, you will see a church. Enter the church and keep going straight until you find a mysterious chest inside, which contains the Camping Knife blueprint.
7. Baseball Bat
The Baseball Bat is a blue weapon with good striking feel. Its heavy attack causes blunt trauma on the first hit, increasing the damage dealt to the target by 30% for 15 seconds. Note that this effect does not work on bosses and other players.
8. Torch
The Torch is a green melee weapon. It applies a burn effect on hit and can be constructed and used on the spot if no other weapons are available.

Above is the ranking of melee weapons in the Seven Days World. Each weapon listed has its own characteristics, and the suitable combat scenarios may vary slightly. You can choose and use them according to your needs, making the melee weapons shine in your hands.
