Base ID HandAxe

A hand axe is a one-handed weapon and tool. The weapon can be attached to the left or right slot of a Belt for quick access and weight reduction.

Usage

Pros Cons
  • Fastest swing speed of any axe.
  • Weighs less than most axes.
  • Can be used as an effective tool for chopping down trees and breaking down doors.
  • Not too difficult to find.
  • Shortest range of any axe.
  • Deals less damage than most axes.
  • Not as durable as most axes.
  • Tied with the Stone Axe for lowest critical hit chance of any axe.

Chopping trees

A hand axe is a decent choice when chopping trees and collecting logs to turn into planks using a saw. It does 15 damage per swing. For comparison, a regular axe deals 35.

Breaking doors

A hand axe is a decent choice when breaking down doors. It does 20 damage per swing. For comparison, a regular axe deals 35.

Distribution

  • The best method of finding a hand axe is looting places like hardware stores and industrial locations such as warehouses, factories and storage units. It can also sometimes be found in garages.
  • Hand axes can also be found inside of barricaded buildings and carpenter's houses.
  • Occasionally, some zombies can be found with hand axes stuck to them.
