===Actual Melee Weapon===
Unlike makeshift melee weapons, these melee weapons are usually more reliable and robust, however most station personnel can't get access to them, as well as these weapons being very noticeable.

|30 Brute
|[[Cult magic]]
|Cultists
|Those who aren't Cultists suffer from wielding this blade...'''''MENTALLY'''''. Aside from being very robust, it is Cult exclusive. Expect a wave of <strike>batons</strike> lasers when Security sees you holding this.

!{{anchor|Energy Sword}}[[Energy Sword]]
|3 Brute Off<br>30 Brute On
|Through a [[Syndicate Uplink]]
|Syndicate/Nanotrasen
|Despite being very strong in melee combat, its activation is loud, very obvious to those around you, and a very big target for people looking for free gear. It also counts as a shield when active! Aim for the legs or arms. Use a multitool on one to turn on RAINBOW MODE (permanently). '''''TURN IT ON BEFORE YOU USE IT'''''

!{{anchor|Double-bladed Energy Sword}}[[Double-bladed Energy Sword]]
|3 Brute Off<br>34 Brute On
|Through a [[Syndicate Uplink]]
|Syndicate/Nanotrasen
|Has to be held with two hands while on. Four extra damage may not seem much, but it means one less hit to crit an unarmored opponent. When wielded it gives a 100% chance to deflect energy-based shots, like tasers and lasers. Like the energy sword, its activation is very loud. To create this, you must combine two Energy Swords together of any color (hold one in each hand and click the other sword) or receive it in a Syndicate Bundle. You cannot put two holodeck swords together. Use a multitool on one to turn on RAINBOW MODE (permanently).  '''''TURN IT ON BEFORE YOU USE IT''''' For obvious balance reasons, hulks cannot use these.

|10 Brute
|[[Security Office]] and [[Security Officer]]'s backpack.
|Security
|Very robust if you know how to use it [[Shitcurity|properly]]. Only the security force can get these easily. Deploy liberally, but stow for transport.

!{{anchor|Katana}}[[Katana]]
|40 brute
|Possible loot from necropolis chests in [[Lavaland]] and in the ninja bundle.
|Mining and Traitors
|Real katanas are very robust, but only miners or traitors have a reasonable chance of finding them.

!{{anchor|Telescopic Baton}}Telescopic Baton
|10 Brute
|[[Heads of Staff]]'s backpacks.
|Command
|Like the stunbaton but retractable, with a shorter stun time, but the same capability for bludgeoning. Heads of Staff start their shift with one in their backpack. Be sure to extend it before using!

!{{anchor|Officer's Sabre}}Officer's Sabre
|15 Brute
|Captain's locker.
|Captain
|A sabre intended for ceremonial uses. Comes with its own sheath. Can block melee attacks and has good armor penetration.  Surprisingly sharp for a fashion accessory.

|Very robust for its size.
