What does this setting do?
Applies on top of general player damage and only to blows with weapons such as an axe, machete, crowbar or baton.
The value decides whether melee is a last resort or a genuine tactic. At default, attacking an armed opponent in melee is usually suicide. Raise it and buildings and forests grow more dangerous, because a surprise attack from two metres can kill — and melee weapons are quiet, which adds to their appeal on servers with scarce ammunition.

What to watch out for
It compounds with the base multiplier
This stacks with general player damage. Raise both and the result far exceeds what you expected.
