Battle Axe
The Battle Axe is a weapon which is designed to dominate melee encounters. While its sheer power comes at the cost of reduced movement speed, skilled players can leverage its strengths to great effect in both offensive and defensive scenarios.
Chainsaw
The Chainsaw is a weapon good for close combat and rushing into people as it deals great damage. It's capable of killing enemies in 3 swings or under a second with the M2 ability. It is also good for movement, as its ability grants the user extra movement speed when the M2 button is held.
