Greataxe

The Greataxe is a melee weapon that is unlocked upon reaching Level 23, or being purchased early for a price of $225,000. Similarly to the Sledgehammer, as a result of the Greataxe's slow attack speed and high damage, it is typically used as a primary weapon, but can also serve as a decent side weapon. The weapon can be obtained via Laboratory and Bunker's military crates, purchasing it from a Merchant, and Bunker's lockers and takes up 4 spaces within the player's inventory.
This melee is a force to reckon with in melee combat and even close quarters combat if players aren't careful enough when facing against. One single hit could lead to your death. 
== Tips on Usage ==
With the melee's great attack damage, penetration and decent swing speed, the melee could be useful as either a primary or a side weapon in PvP or PvE. Not to mention, its light attack and heavy attack (which is literally Sledgehammer's heavy attack) could also be difficult to avoid, especially in enclosed areas. Other notes is that the weapon has the ability to ragdoll players struck by it, preventing any window for an enemy to perform actions, and decapitate any unarmored players. The axe slows you down while it's in your hand, so unless you're dueling another melee, it is recommended to only equip it when you're going to swing. It is also advised to keep an eye on your stamina too, as this melee drains a moderate amount of your stamina, particularly the heavy attack which takes up 25 stamina.
Another note is that this weapon can also serve useful in Bunker's wave survival event if nobody has Photon Blades to bring, as it can be used on early waves if you happen to run out of ammo, and can be used to deal with the Operator NPCs within the event by hitting them in the head with either attack three times before they die.
