Rendbreaker

The Rendbreaker is a Exotic (rarity) grade melee that is a formidable cross between Great sword and chainsaw. It can either be obtained directly through Scourge Arena as an alternative reward to the Green Keycard, or bought from Merchants after beating the Scourge Arena.
== Tips on Usage ==
If you've unlocked the inferno attachment for the Rendbreaker, it is highly recommended you run it with Armor, Light Tactical if you want the movement, Heavy Tactical if you're particularly worried about losing your sword. Since the Rendbreaker's Lunge has such little cooldown, grab a few energy drinks and repeatedly press the running m1, this not only counteracts Heavy Tactical's slowness, but you're also constantly attacking. Once up close, try refraining from lunging, since your opponent can easily jump over it, and attack you. Instead, use Rendbreaker's two swing heavy, which even if they jump, they'll likely get caught by at least one of the wide-swinging slashes.
If you choose to receive the Rendbreaker as a reward for completing Scourge, you will receive the weapon regardless of your current space. This means that is possible to carry a Rendbreaker beyond your space limit. For example, you can carry an AK-47 and Rendbreaker at the same time with absolutely no armor at all with 14/10 space. Remember that failing scourge will cause you to lose any items you are carrying, making this strategy risky at worst and game breaking at best. This does not apply for Rendbreakers purchased at merchants.
