Trivia[]
- Introduced in Beta v.1.5.5
- Added at multiplayer in Beta v.1.17.1
- There is a debate going on about whether the iron hatchet is the hatchet used by the guy in the loading screen or not. This theory is most likely true, because they are both iron hatchets, and the one the devs have in-game just aren't finished yet. A way to prove this theory is they have the same shape if you compare the 2 of them together. This might sound stupid at first, but if you pay attention to the background, the guy seems to be in a town and/or city type location, so that might be what the iron hatchet looks like once the game comes out of beta. Or it could be false, cause if you think realistically, he seems to be carrying an axe that firefighters use, so this also might be either an upgraded or completely separate version of the iron hatchet in-game once the game comes out of its beta stage. So it could go either way with the devs. Nothing to debate.... It goes both ways....
