****Machetes**** are weapons in Let it Die. Machetes are basically the all rounder of the game; they have good reach for a melee weapon and while they attack a bit slower than Knives or Claws, they're still decently fast. Their combo can be executed back-to-back almost seamlessly, making it easy to stunlock an enemy once you've landed the first hit.

The Beam Katana is another **Machete**-type weapon that uses the same mastery.

**NOTE:** Helmet bonus does not count towards meeting the requirement for being able to use gear.

## Blueprint Locations

* **Jungle Machete**
	+ Has an obtainable Blueprint on Floors 6-10.
	+ Random reward from Uncle Prime Box

## Notes

* Much like Meijin says, the Machete's R2/L2 attacks are easy to use, good range, speed and hard to avoid.
* The Jungle Machete is good weapon to help you get through floors 11 - 20
* The Cross Buster, unlocked at mastery rank 10, is a jumping slice that is a little hard to aim and is slow for this weapon, but does great damage and causes a lot of hitstun.
* The Rage move, Final Stroke, is a short range stab that does a good amount of damage.

## Mastery Levels

#### Rank 20 Bonus Summary

* **Attack Power** increased by **61%**.
* **Rage Move Power** increased by **45%**.
* **Stamina Consumption** reduced by **30%**.
* **EXP** and **Kill Coins** from Goretastic Attacks increased by **30%**.
* Combo Extension: Whirlwind Slice. This adds a fourth attack to the regular combo.
* L1/R1 Move: Cross Buster. This is a strong, long-reaching downward attack. Susceptible to counter-attacks since it's a little slow to start.

As part of the **No More Heroes** collaboration event, the **Beam Katana** was purchasable from the **Hernia** for  20. The event period was 11/14/2018 – 1/16/2019.

Despite the name, it is a **Machete**-type weapon, not a Katana-type weapon.

**NOTE:** Helmet bonus does not count towards meeting the requirement for being able to use gear.

This ****Machete**** is one of two Rage Series weapons, which were only sold during the Precious Metal Madness event from 4/12/2017 - 4/27/2017, as a KC purchase from Choku-Funsha. They were described as such:

* *"During this event, Chokufunsha will be selling special RAGE SERIES weapons. Performing a normal attack with these weapons will not differ from their original counterparts, but their attack strength is DRAMATICALLY increased when performing a Rage Move. However, after one Rage Move they will lose all durability and break. Figure out the best time to utilize these weapons and gain the upper hand! That, or you can just enjoy these cool-looking variations."*

They had no blueprint, could not be upgraded, and generally were outclassed by any upgraded weapon. While no longer obtainable directly, these weapons may still be dropped for other players through TDM.

**NOTE:** Helmet bonus does not count towards meeting the requirement for being able to use gear.
