Most of your time in Tiny Tina's Wonderlands will be spent looting, exploring and shooting with ranged weapons. There are however melee-specific weapons in the game that deal elemental damage or provide unique buffs and special effects. This Melee Weapons Guide will tell you everything you need to know about this type of weapon.
If you are using a console, you can unleash a melee attack in Tiny Tina's Wonderlands by pressing the R3 button on your controller. If you are using a PC you need to press the 'V' key on your keyboard.
There are four major manufacturers of melee weapons: Kleave, Swifft, Bonk, and Valora, and the melee weapons they produce are listed below.
This manufacturer produces different types of axes, these include Great Axes, Hatchets, and Kamas. These weapons have a significant critical hit chance and damage.
Although the one-handed weapons this manufacturer makes don't provide much in the way of damage per hit, they more than make up for it by their fast attack which allows you to get more stabbings in les time. Swifft weapons include Long Swords, Sabres, and Scimitars.
The blunt weapons this manufacturer makes deal high critical hit damage and a chance to deal elemental damage. Bonk weapons include Clubs, Hammers, and Morning Stars.
This manufacture forges two-handed swords which although slow to wield have a very high damage rate which justifies the effort needed to use them. These swords include Greatswords (high critical hit chance and damage), Claymores (huge base damage), and Falchions (high chance to deal elemental damage.
