Data Miner

Data Miners are a type of weapon in the Dataverse commonly wielded by Corruptions. They resemble pickaxes.

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

As suggested by their title, Data Miners are used for mining data, which is why when a Data-being is hit with a Data Miner, coin particles fall out of them and an extra mining sound effect is played. To attack with the weapon, Data Miner wielders swing the weapon in a vertical arc. Players who wield this will always drop a Mine upon death even when they aren't wielding one. The reason for this is unknown.
