One-Handed Melee Weapons

All credit goes to Recon John!

One-Handed Melee weapons are the most common weapons in TABG. They range from Batons to Sabres, and I’ll be identifying each one in detail.

The Pan

• Hits to kill: 3 Hits to Limbs and Torso, or 1 Hit to the Head. 
• Hitting a successful headshot will kill or knock out the target instantly 
• The Pan has a slow swing-speed, and can be swung just over once per second (you may be able to swing it twice per second if you swing long enough). 
• It’s official name in-game is the “Shallow Pot with Long Handle”. This is most likely a jab at PUBG Corp. for suing Tencent over the use of a Pan in their own Battle Royale game.

Rapier

• Hits to kill: 5 to Limbs, 3 to Torso, 2 to Head. 
• Hitting a successful headshot will knock down the target for 1 second, before they get back up. 
• The Rapier has a fast swing speed, and can be swung 3 times per second. 

Crowbar

• Hits to kill: 4 to Limbs, 3 to Torso, 2 to Head. 
• Hitting a successful headshot will knock down the target for 1 second, before they get back up. 
• The Crowbar has a fast swing speed, and can be swung 3 times per second. 

Sabre

• Hits to kill: 4 to Limbs, 3 to Torso, 2 to Head. 
• Hitting a successful headshot will knock down the target for 1 second, before they get back up. 
• The Sabre has a medium swing speed, and can be swung 2.5 times per second. 
• The Sabre’s first swing will always be a downcut, making it incredibly easy to hit someone’s head and knock them down. Keep this in mind and time your swings to maximize kills. 

Cleaver

• No special effects occur upon headshotting an enemy.
