Melee Charge is a Tier 2 Weapon Item that grants additional Melee Damage, Heavy Melee Distance, and Bullet Resist. Its passive effect causes Heavy Melee attacks to deal extra damage every 5s.

It can be purchased from the Shop for  1,600.

Melee Charge is a Component of Crushing Fists.

Notes

• The bonus damage will only occur if the item activates. If it is on cooldown, the player will not gain the +25% Bonus Heavy Melee Damage.

Notable Interactions

• Billy' Bashdown T3 triggers Melee Charge's effect. However, Bashdown only benefits from the passive melee damage bonus, and does not trigger the 25% bonus damage.
• Viscous' Puddle Punch T3 is bugged, and does not gain 25% bonus damage from Melee Charge's effect, despite putting the passive on cooldown.
• Yamato benefits from Melee Charge due to her above-average melee damage.
