Tool-usage
Can be used to remove bushes.
Weapon
The machete can hit up to 2 enemies at a time (with multi-hit enabled), dealing a maximum of 3 damage to enemies (unless a critical hit) from up to 1.23 tiles away at an attack speed of 1.
The weapon can be attached to the character's back for quick access and weight reduction.
Condition
The machete has a maximum condition of 13. Its rate of degradation is influenced by the long blade and maintenance skills. The chance of losing durability can be simplified to the following formula: 1 in (25 + maintenanceMod × 2). Where "maintenanceMod" is calculated using the long blade and maintenance skills.
Below is an example of the chance of losing durability at varying levels of the maintenance and long blade skills.
| Maintenance skill | Weapon skill | Durability lower chance |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | 1/25 (4%) |
| 0 | 4 | 1/27 (4%) |
| 0 | 8 | 1/29 (3%) |
| 4 | 0 | 1/29 (3%) |
| 8 | 0 | 1/33 (3%) |
| 4 | 4 | 1/31 (3%) |
| 4 | 8 | 1/33 (3%) |
| 8 | 8 | 1/37 (3%) |
| 10 | 10 | 1/39 (3%) |

Buildings
- The best method of finding a machete is looting hardware stores. The West Point and Riverside shopping district each have a hardware store.
- Pawn shops and military surplus stores have a high chance of spawning machetes. Both can be found in Louisville.
- Machetes can spawn in metal shelves in warehouses.
- Machetes can also be found inside barricaded buildings.
