Furax

These power gauntlets lack the range of most Melee Weapons, but Furax is far more devastating when you strike an enemy in close combat. Built as a crit melee / combo scaler option for squad clear and mission pressure.

Signature

Furax is not a signature weapon — any frame can use it without a signature passive.

When to Pick

• You want a Melee that fits a crit melee / combo scaler play pattern.
• Your loadout needs what Furax does well — check Mission Usefulness below before investing Forma.
• You’re ready to Catalyze / Forma it if you plan to main it on Steel Path.

  expect multiple Forma for a hungry config.

  Install when you need ammo, handling, or QoL without sacrificing damage slots.

• Melee Arcane AdapterArcane

  Lets you install a weapon arcane for a strong passive bonus.

  Worth it once the base mod config is already solid.

• Riven ModRiven

  Unique rolled mod. Disposition 1.38.

Melee doesn’t use multishot — invest in range, combo, and attack speed instead.

Blood Rush + crit damage is the classic crit melee route when base crit is workable.

Elemental

Viral/Heat or Corrosive/Heat dual-stats after your damage and conditioner mods.

Fire Rate
