Players who want to get up close and personal with their enemies in Red Dead Online should nab these melee weapons.
Sometimes, a six-shooter just isn’t good enough to get the point across. For many players of Red Dead Online, a melee weapon is a great choice for not only a fun challenge but to evoke a rampage across the Wild West. Red Dead Online features a great number of melee weapons, which many play largely the same.

What’s unique about the melee weapons in Red Dead Online is their animations, swing times, and the fact that using a hatchet to kill another player or NPC is far more gruesome than a quick bullet. Players will want to keep an eye out for the best melee weapons in Red Dead Online.
For some players, the best melee weapon could very well be their two fists. Bar fights in Red Dead Online can be a lot of fun, whether that’s with NPCs or real players. The rowdiness and roughhousing that can be done with fists is far less violent and lacks the degree of murder one can find with a blade.
The combat system in Red Dead Online is pretty good, and fighting with fists can open up plenty of friendly competitions among players that want to start their fight club. Hopefully, the fighting is mutual, and a lack of grief is involved.
Some may market the Hunter Hatchet as a tool for cutting wood, but everyone in the Wild West knows that its best use is as a weapon against other players. The Hunter Hatchet has the classic design one would expect and is a smaller axe to wield for the player.
The fun of the Hunter Hatchet comes from the fact that players can make their own side quest, and pretend to be a protective woodsman who is guarding their cabin against looters and other uninvited guests. It’s also just pretty fun to hit people with an axe.
While the bow may not be a melee weapon, it certainly has a unique attack animation when players try to use it as such.
