Melee combat weapons

Melee players will surely find a suitable weapon in Steelrising. Heavy weapons, such as Mallets, are slow, but do tremendous damage on hit, while Fans are extremely fast and can be used to deal damage with combinations, that can stun the opponent. You can also choose an all-rounder weapon, such as Hallberd.

Ranged combat weapons

In Steelrising, you can also engage in ranged combat using various types of rifles, which often deal elemental damage and impose statuses on enemies. Interestingly, some melee weapons, like the Halberd, can also attack with projectiles, which is their special move. Note, however, that Alchemical Capsules are required to use ranged weapons.

Special maneuver

Interestingly enough, every type of weapon available in Steelrising has a special move (activated by pressing L2/LT/Q). With some, it allows to perform an extra attack, while others allow parrying.
