Totally Accurate Battlegrounds – One-Handed Melee Weapons Guide
One-Handed Melee weapons are the most common weapons in TABG. They range from Batons to Sabres, and We’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).
Its 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

The Crowbar has a fast swing speed, and can be swung 3 times per second.

Hitting a successful headshot will knock down the target for 1 second, before they get back up.
