Advice wanted regarding melee enemies when you tend to wield guns… (self.starfield)

Am I better off carrying one melee weapon or investing in stagger resistance perks to fight off melee attackers? As it stands, I often have to either shoot melee attackers before they reach me or beat them back with a Va’Ruun Painblade because they probably won’t give me enough time to reload my shotgun.

You could carry a secondary faster shooting gun and just quick swap to it and light them up and hope they stagger once they are getting close instead of reloading the shotty

Yeah, now that I think about it, I do carry a couple pistols and rifles on my hotbar, AND another shotgun, and one microgun. Any number of which could still be loaded.

…Yeah, at this point, I may just put the painblade away and either find a gun for that hotbar slot or enjoy the extra carry capacity lol

There are so many cool guns I carry like 7 haha after each battle I have to go back to each one and make sure they are reloaded
