I'm sorry, but a LITTLE KNIFE doing 55 damage NOT THROWN is fucking extreme.
For reference; a Machete does 35, the special Ngájhe Machete does 55 and is seen NOWHERE. Normal knives, including the M5 Bayonet, only deal 25 slash.
The Fire Axe, WHILE WEILDED, does a combined 45 total damage. A FIRE AXE.
The pickaxe is also still busted as shit, doing 75 total damage; A Synth using a pickaxe can nearly one shot a Marine.
That's just insane.
