How to Get the Best Melee Weapon in Jagged Alliance 3

“The Thing” is the best melee weapon that you get by completing the Boss Blaubert quest. Here you have to free his right-hand man Luigi from the prison. This is how you go about this questline:

1. Go to Rimville in sector I9 and talk to Boss Blaubert. It is located south of Fleatown.
   • You have to gain his trust first in order to get missions from him. One way to do that is using Lalee Leewaylender.
2. He will ask you to break out Luigi from the Prison. This is located in Sector L6.
3. Get to the Prison and defeat the enemies to make your way to the Warden. Try using stealth kills as they are quite effective here.
4. Now you have two options here, you can either Kill the Warden or talk and get him to bring Luigi to you.
   • Talking is the better option as it will help you avoid any unnecessary fights and will get Luigi to you faster.
   • Else, if that doesn’t work out then kill him for a chance to get the AA12 shotgun. Do note that while this gun may be tempting, this path will make you fight more enemies underground.
5. Free Luigi and his bodyguard, and they will head over to kill Blaubert.
   • Optional step – You can stay and free the innocent prisoners before going back to earn some loyalty points.
6. Go back and there will be a fight between Blaubert and Luigi.
7. Pick Blaubert’s side and kill Luigi and his bodyguard to get The Thing as your reward.

That’s all you need to do to unlock the best melee weapon in Jagged Alliance 3. Since you are interested in this game you might also find these guides useful on how to get ammo, create custom mercs, and get meds.
