Axe

Template:Weapons The axe is a tool composed of a long wooden handle and a large cutting edge, useful for both neutralizing Zombie and for taking down doors and trees. One swing can safely keep a small number of zombies at bay.

The Axe can sometimes kills Zombie in one well-charged hit, making it useful for close-quarter combat. The disadvantages includes that after a swing, the axe has a long recovery time, if charged swings are taken in rapid succession, and the relatively short reach. The weapon's advantages include its comparatively high damage output and high durability. Therefore, the Axe is particularly viable as a long term weapon.

It is also useful for breaking doors since it has a door damage of 35. It is best used as a mainstream weapon and for breaking down doors quickly and effectively, and it can also be used to chop down trees to collect Plank.

In the pre-alpha, the axe weighed 35 units of weight, making it almost impossible to carry around in a scavenging mission. However, currently, the axe's weight has been lowered down to a far more reasonable 3 units.
