Melee
NOW!
Dune: Awakening employs a system of combined arms, which means that combat will be divided in (at least) three different parts: melee, ranged and vehicular combat. [1]

As with that, melee will be a big part of the game, as the world it is set in focuses mainly on melee. [4]
What is Melee
Melee is a term usually used for close-quarters fighting with weapons that are not used to shoot projectiles. And Dune: Awakening wont be any different.
Melee in Dune: Awakening will be based at fighting with melee weapons (swords, rapiers, daggers, crysknives etc.) and with sheields. Shields will enforce melee fights, as shooting a shield with lasgun causes an explosion (albeit smaller then the pseudo-nuclear ones mentioned in the novels)[1] [5] [6]
