Summary[edit]
This page is supposed to provide some data for comparison between different melee weapons.
Comparison tables[edit]
The following tables compares the DPS of weapons of the same material and quality.
- Since you realistically only ever want to make sharp weapons out of plasteel, steel or uranium, only those materials are considered.
- Melee hit chance can be ignored, since we look only at relative differences.
Longsword vs. 
Spear[edit]
Green indicates, that the longsword is better, red the spear.

Conclusions[edit]
- Whether the longsword or spear has more DPS is dependant on:
- Mostly the chosen material.
- Somewhat the achieved quality.
- Somewhat on the attacks available to the pawn. Default attacks: left fist, right fist, teeth, head. Changed by injuries and artificial body parts (e.g. bionic or archotech arms, elbow blades
, knee spikes or venom fangs ).
- However, for materials you actually want to choose (plasteel, steel or uranium), the differences rarely reach 2%.
Conclusion: As for pure DPS there is no clear winner between longsword and spear.
