The Pencil kill icon in the kill-feed will always be replaced with "WICK'D" when you kill someone with it, making a clear reference to John Wick. On November 16, 2019, the Bat icon was changed to the current design since the previous icon was inaccurate to the model of the melee. It also originally had the Promo rarity, then it was changed to Bundle. The Gaster Blaster originally had a placeholder icon of the Brass Knuckles. The Classic Sword and the Mop are the only melee skins to not have a backstab animation. It also formerly used the icon for the Chainsaw melee, and was later changed to an image of the sword during the 2019 Holiday Havoc event. (this also applies to the darkheart, firebrand, ghostwalker, venomshank, lumina, and the windforce) The Classic Sword has no backstab animation due to it being added from the Brickbattle gamemode. There are some melees with their colors reflecting their team color.
The Ban Hammer was awarded to people who bought a fake Admin Gamepass in September 2019.
The Chicken kill effect can only be acquired if the player has the Caged Clucker badge from Egg Hunt 2019. Originally, a Golf Club melee was supposed to be added in the September Update, but went unused. These weapon skins are available via crafting any melee weapons.
