Hatchet

Hatchets are a type of weapon in the Dataverse commonly wielded by Corruptions.

There are two different types of Hatchets seen in-game (other than the default Hatchet tool, which resembles a recolored Malware Hatchet), the Virus Hatchet and the aforementioned Malware hatchet.

The weapon is swung in a vertical hacking motion when used to attack.

More Facts

 * Before they were simply melee weapons, Hatchets used to be a type of weapon (which is now removed) called "hybrid" weapons. When the concept of hybrid weapons were initially introduced, Hatchets, along with Chakrams, were the very first hybrid weapons to exist, and were essentially the "mascots" of the hybrid weapon type. As hybrid weapons, Hatchets could both be swung like a melee weapon (through clicking) and thrown at enemies like a ranged weapon (through pressing the "E" key).
