There were supposedly melee weapons in the game as stated by a quote made by Deej

"Imagine fighting off alien hordes with an ancient sword claimed from a grotto"
That could've been fantastic, sadly Destiny is anything but. Maybe in the future

That was referencing the sword of crota. That was a melee weapon in the game. It was never intended to be a new weapon archetype
