Machete

 Overview  The Machete is a melee weapon in Deadzone. It appears as a sword with a somewhat long hilt and a somewhat short blade despite the name.

The machete is also classified as a "gear" item in the shop, possibly to prevent the need of making a new category for the weapon.

 Description 

The machete is considered a poor weapon to have as a primary or secondary due to it's mediocre damage and the requirement to get up close and personal, something a shotgun could easily do with less the risk. In terms of damage, a zombie can be taken down with 3 hits, but you may suffer more hits than the zombie as the swing speed can become bugged. In terms of players, the machete is very ineffective, especially if the player being attacked has some form of protection.

 Obtaining 

Machetes are fairly common to find in most locations. Another method is to buy the "advertising support" gamepass to get a free machete and a backpack.

 Tips 


 * If you plan on using this as a secondary weapon, chose again and pick a gun instead.
 * In desperate situations(i.e. no ammo, no weapons, or being crowded/overwhelmed by zombies, being cornered, etc.), it may be slightly effective to hack and slash through to escape as the somewhat fast swing speed may save you.
