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]
[2] [3] As with that, melee will be a big part of the game, as the world it is set in focuses mainly on melee. [4]

Melee in game

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 shields. 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]
Melee is said to be viable late game, and even have its own abilities that set it apart and make it entirely different then without them. [7] [8]

Types of melee weapon

Not much has been confirmed, although rapiers and daggers have already been shown. Other probablilities point at swords, pulse-swords, knifes, kinjals, crysknives and similar. [9]

Abilites with melee
