Best Melee Weapon In Free Fire And How To Use Them

Hand to hand combat using melee weapons is not something anyone playing Free Fire would like to do, due to the game's nature of being a Shooter - gun beats sword every time. However, knowing how to use those melee weapons is not without merits. Pulling out something like a katana and slash away when encountering enemies suddenly could be much more effective than what you would have expected.

In this short guide, we would list out all melee weapons in the game and rate them to find out the best melee weapon in Free Fire. A guide on how to use them effectively is also included as well. This knowledge could become useful in arcade modes like Cold Steel too - in that mode, a melee knife would be given to everyone.

1 - List of melee weapons in Free Fire

Katana

The favorite weapon of a Samurai - the Katana is probably the most stylish amongst the bunch, with the highest reach.

• Range – 5
• Accuracy – 10
• Movement Speed – 88
• Damage – 66
• Rate of Fire – 32

Machete

While it looks shorter than the katana, the effective range of the machete is about the same.

• Range – 5
• Accuracy – 10
• Movement Speed – 88
• Damage – 66
• Rate of Fire – 32

Bat

Another weapon with a slightly longer reach - the bat's ability to deflect bullets is hampered by its smaller hitbox. It also has slightly lower damage as well.

• Range – 5
• Accuracy – 10
• Movement Speed – 88
• Damage – 63
• Rate of Fire – 33

Pan

The melee weapon with the biggest size - which means it is easier to block bullets using the pan. This makes up for the pan's slightly lower damage and reach.

• Range – 5
• Accuracy – 10
• Movement Speed – 88
• Damage – 62
• Rate of Fire – 35

2 - How to use melee weapons in Free Fire

Movement Speed is the speed that your character moves while holding the weapon - this stat is extremely high on all melee weapons. When moving around, it might be a good idea to hold a melee weapon so that you could run around faster and still have something to defend yourself.

Melee weapons can block bullets - the Pan is the best at that, while the Bat is the worst. You can continuously swing your weapon at your enemy to increase the chance of block. This would give melee weapons somewhat of a surprise factor in a very close range fight.

You can headshot with melee weapons for massive damage. In arcade mode fights in which everyone is holding melee weapons, the ability to headshot would be your key to winning the match. Most people do not know this, however. The Pan has the highest headshot damage bonus, similar to PUBG Mobile.

Fists can also be considered to be a melee weapon, however, it deals the lowest amount of damage in the game and has zero reach. You have to stand exactly right next to the target to punch them. Furthermore, you can't block bullets with it. However, fists damage can be boosted using Kla's skill, which makes it somewhat viable, as you would be moving around at maximum speed.

Sneaking behind your target would be a good idea if you want to down them with a weapon - however, if that is possible, maybe just shoot the guy for a clean kill instead.

Melee weapons have super limited uses in Free Fire, and even in close quarters, holding a gun is still better. However, if you want to showcase your skill or make some YouTube videos, fishing around for kills using a blade is not a bad idea. Hunt for targets in places with low visibility like behind corners in buildings so that you could get the enemy in your range.

3 - Verdict on the Best Melee Weapon in Free Fire

The best melee weapon in Free Fire is probably the Katana - for both its stats and looks. The weapon fits pretty much every set out there, especially those with a Japanese theme.
