Dark Souls III eGuide (Steam) Equipment Melee Weapons

Fists

For when you really want to get up close and personal, Fist weapons give you some extra pounding power on your hands. Fists are all inherently dual-wieldable weapons, giving you a weapon in each hand and a dual wield attack moveset.

Fists have extremely limited reach, but they do have the benefit of low weight and rapid strikes, making them a viable option against smaller enemies and humanoid foes. They can be considerably harder to use against truly massive enemies or bosses that are extremely dangerous to stay in close proximity with.
