What counts as melee on pred ?

From what I can see wrist blades are the only thing that counts as melee, does the sword and others not count towards a melee perk ? Just curious, cause I do more DPS with blades than the sword itself…

Sword, combistick, warclub and wielded smartdisk SHOULD count as melee. What they actually do, well I have no idea about that…

I’ve used the sword and I get less DPS than with blades, which makes it weird. Using the fearless perk, might have to retry again tomorrow.
