Just spent some time playtesting Atlas and melee weapons.

Ran the same mission on earth, and punched a few Grineer in the face, with varying results using a build I've had on him for a while.

No Melee Weapon: 256 dmg

Unmodded Melee: 256 dmg

Unmodded+Steel Charge: 409 dmg (60% of 256 is 153.6, added together is 409.6)

Melee with Stance: 256 dmg

Melee with Buzzkill: 256 dmg

Melee with Fever Strike: 664 dmg (90% of 256 is 230.4, added together is 486.4, plus Grineer Weakness to Toxin brings the total to 608. Additional 58 dmg from unknown source.)

Melee with Energy Channel: 256 dmg

Melee with Life Strike: 256 dmg. Landslide does not heal HP.

Unmodded Crit: 511 dmg

+90% Crit: 971 dmg (90% of 511 is 459.9, added together is 970.9 in total.)

Based on these results, these mods will effect Landslide:

DAMAGE

Steel Charge

Pressure Point

Spoiled Strike

ALL DAMAGE ELEMENTAL MODS

CRITICAL

Organ Shatter

True Steel

True Punishment (?)

Status effects do not seem to be applied through his fists.

In order to create the best Atlas Landslide Melee build, you would simply use the mods with the highest damage numbers. Mods available are listed alongside each percentage.

DAMAGE

Steel Charge: 60% (W)

Pressure Point:  120% (1x)

Spoiled Strike:  100% (1x)

Elementals: 90% (4x)

--

CRITICAL

True Steel: 60% (1x & Chance)

True Punishment:  40% (1x & Chance)

Organ Shatter:  90% (1x)

IMPORTANT: ''As of writing this, we do not know Landslide's Critical Rate. I would presume it to be well below the regular 20-25% for critbuilds, as it took me quite a while to finally land any of my crits, even with True Steel capped.''

I would suggest running with a purely damage build instead, adding in one of the ELEMENTAL+STATUS mods (​Vicious Frost, Voltaic Strike, Volcanic Edge & Virulent Scourge, which drops from Corrupted Vor and is easily attained if you do not have the others.), and FOCUS ENERGY, as your melee weapon will most likely require you to channel it to actually deal the damage it normally would, provided you for some reason wish not to use Landslide.
