The Hatchet is a bladed weapon featured in The Last Stand: Union City and a melee weapon in The Last Stand: Dead Zone.

BackgroundEdit

Similar to a hand axe, it performs many of the same functions as its large and unwieldy brothers, but in a smaller and handier package. An excellent tool to have on camping trips and long hikes, as well as for hacking off the occasional undead limb.

Available in hardware and camping stores.

TacticsEdit

The Last Stand: Union CityEdit

With a high damage output and a serviceable striking distance, this melee weapon is well-balanced and very effective throughout the middle sections of the game. However, it should be replaced when more powerful melee weapons like the Fire Axe and Katana are obtained.

How to ObtainEdit

A Sharpened variant can be bought at King-o-Pawn. Prices are dependent on the Smarts skill. (Canal Park)

ProsEdit

High Damage
Decent Reach
Noiseless
Good damage-to-weight ratio

ConsEdit

Low Knockback
Uncommon

The Last Stand: Dead ZoneEdit

An effective melee weapon in the levels it can typically be obtained in, thanks to its combination of decent damage and a quick strike. Its only real drawback is one shared by most melee weapons, namely having to close with the enemy to attack.

How to ObtainEdit

It can be scavenged during Level 10+ missions.
Level 9 Refined variants can be crafted using a Hatchet and 4 Hardened Metal at a Level 4+ Weapons Bench for 5 after scavenging the required schematic.
