Killing cazadors is not a fair comparison, they have almost no DT which means anything with a high DPS or single hit damage will drop them quickly. It can drop off gunners, but you can also get it … Melee is just superior than unarmed which is sad because I'd like to do a run but there's too many drawbacks. This one is a specific build and it does not work well in any situation, and it requires both higher skill and awareness. In Fallout 4, Strength determines the Sole Survivor's carrying capacity, as well as their base damage when using Melee or Unarmed weapons. The quality of this skill largely depends on whether you have the expansions installed, namely Broken Steel.
Unarmed Perks – Blocker(3), Incisor(3), Martial Artist(3), Barbarian(3), Iron Fist(3). This works out to +10 carrying capacity, and +10% melee damage per point of Strength. If you are wondering, yes the 'Hydraulic' Power-Armor mod works in conjunction with the Unarmed Weapons with the Power Armor, as well as the Iron-Fist perk and as i added, the Big-Leagues perk. Pickman’s Blade is a unique melee weapon.
