The Melee Weapon is a gadget featured in Hell Let Loose.
Some examples are the M3 Knife for US Forces, Feldspaten for Germans, and the MPL-50 Spade for Soviets.
Melee Weapons were first introduced in Update 9.
["Melee in World War Two was a far more common occurrence than most people think and often took place in brutal room to room fighting - perhaps most poignantly depicted in a tragic scene in Saving Private Ryan.
We wanted to emulate the ability to immediately draw your melee weapon and plunge it into the enemy. To do this, we’ve enabled the B key as a quick melee attack. It’ll go for the immediate stab on the target by checking your inventory, seeing which melee weapon you possess and then actioning the attack.
For those who enjoy a more deliberate rampage, you can simply equip your melee weapon in your inventory before going for the kill."] - Developer Briefing #117
