The Saw-Ax is an improvised melee weapon featured in The Last Stand: Dead Zone.

Background[]

Despite its marked resemblance to an over-sized pizza cutter, its ability to slice into zombies without getting stuck has made this gruesome invention a hit amongst survivors. This is due to its rotating saw head, which spins once it impacts the target rather than impart all its force.

Can be made with the right materials, tools, and skills.

How to obtain[]

  • Level 9 Normal variants can be crafted using 1 Tape, 2 Pipes, 5 Bolts and 1 Saw Blade at a Level 4+ Weapons Bench for 4 Fuel.
  • Level 11 Slicing variants can be crafted using a Saw-Ax and 6 Hardened Metal at a Level 5+ Weapons Bench for 6 Fuel.
  • Level 13 Balanced Slicing variants can be crafted using a Saw-Ax and 20 Hardened Metal at a Level 6+ Weapons Bench for 16 Fuel. Also requires a Level 13+ Engineer and Fighter.
  • Level 17 Quality Slicing variants can be crafted using a Saw-Ax and 50 Hardened Metal at a Level 6+ Weapons Bench for 29 Fuel after scavenging the required schematic. Also requires a Level 17+ Engineer and Fighter

Tactics[]

While it is strong enough to kill or badly wound a zombie with one strike, it needs to be right next to the zombie in order to attack, a weakness it shares with most melee weapons. Combined with a relatively slow swing, its wielder is likely to take quite a few injuries while performing their grisly work.

Recommended gear[]

  • Vests increase the health of the wielder, allowing them to survive longer in the horde.

Pros[]

  • High Damage
  • Very Accurate
  • Noiseless

Cons[]

  • Attacks Slowly
  • Short Reach
  • Can only be obtained through crafting
