I make these build pages to send to friends so they can easily tell what I run, they're not aimed at havoc so don't lose your head if it isn't perfect, adjust to preference.
Melee is pretty straight forward and you can really grab any melee weapon of your liking. With this vet build I rely more on grenades and the plasma gun to help me deal with armor and mixed crowds, so I lean towards horde clearing weapons I enjoy. The MkI Shovel's heavy swings are great for the rank and file hordes but may not be to your liking.
My personal recommendations for alternative melees are;
Cadia Mk XIIIg Assault Chainsword
Catachan Mk IV "Devil's Claw" Sword
Maccabian Mk IV Duelling Sword
The plasma gun can deal out so much damage to multiple enemies or accurately on targets at range, it's easily the best pick here and together with Always Prepared , can easily stay topped up on magazine ammo for a long time as long as you swap with enough ranged stacks.
Alternate ranged options can preferably deal with armor reliably such as;
Zarona Mk IIa Quickdraw Stub Revolver
Locke Mk IIb Spearhead Boltgun
Godwyn-Branx Mk IV Bolt Pistol
Agripinaa Mk I Infantry Autogun (Struggles with ammo a bit and can't beat carapace but quite fun and versatile besides that)
Additionally, the Born Leader can be swapped around to either Field Improvisation or Covering Fire if you want to share more toughness with the team, or really anything else to either boost your own or your team's performance.
The build also relies a lot on grenades and regenerating them to take out big threats such as groups of Bulwarks/Crushers/Maulers as well as assist with bosses. Unless the Krak grenade are changed back to the old number, Shredder Frag grenades are the way to go. You get way more uses out of them and they will eat through groups. If you really want to focus on dealing with priority armored targets and bursting down bosses, pick the Krak grenades. Krak grenades dont magnetize towards Bosses, but still stick with a direct hit and deal a ton of damage.
