Although you won't have access to a melee attack right away when you start the game, you will be able to unlock one while playing the campaign. To do this you will have to unlock an augmentation called Hydraulic Slam. This is obtained as a pickup during the first few missions, although you can also go to a Grafter, a type of vendor in the game, from whom you can buy various melee attacks. Specifically the one you need to buy is the Hydraulic Slam Augmentation which you will then need to equip.

Once the attack is equipped, you will be able to use it by pressing the controller bumpers and in case it doesn't completely kill an enemy, it will knock him down and give you a lot of space. Hydraulic Slam's damage will increase as you level up, allowing you to improve its efficiency as you progress.
