The Mezzaluna Axe is an improvised bladed weapon featured in The Last Stand: Dead Zone.
Background[]
This fearsome weapon consists of a single curved blade with handles at each end mounted on a long stick; the name and blade comes from the Italian mezzaluna ('half moon') kitchen tool used to cut herbs, pizza or pesto. With international cooking long gone in the Dead Zone, it has found a new use among survivors as an efficient rotten meat chopper.

Tactics[]
With a high damage, long reach, and excellent knockback, the Mezzaluna Axe may serve as a quieter alternative to the chainsaw. However, due to its slow attack speed, survivors wielding this should never face a large horde on their own, without the aid of faster weapons to hold off enemies while the wielder recovers.
