Fists and gloves vs Robots

[Pharaoh]

Hi all I'm finishing my 2nd playthrough on hard and planning my first dom run
I was thinking about either fists or gloves but I've heard they have trouble vs robots and I really don't want something with blatant flaws for my first dom run
Is either of them good vs bots?
If not what would you consider the most all around good melee weapon?

Gloves have a bit hard time against robots but it is manageable. The most important thing is to grab Expose Weakness and use gloves with Pneumatic Hammer. You can also optionally grab Psychokinesis psi for stuff like Electrokinesis and Force Emission.

Sword or spear.

You can craft shock combat gloves that deal extra electrical damage. Bare fist don't have the option. Both will need expose weakness against high tier robots like Naga and Industrial bot.

I would say all melee weapons have some sort of weakness. High DEX melee build can eliminate their weakness by taking Versatility feat (W2C ammo, acid chem pistol). Otherwise your options are the usual grenades, traps and caltrops.
