Shovel or battle axe?

DeathMonitor · October 2009

Hi,

What is the difference between the shovel and the battle axe (except the look)? I can't find it in the forum or weapons site. Please dont come with stupid answer like "the shovel is made of wood" or whatever.

Thnx,
DeathPixel...

i have never used shovel but being against it is annoying becuase the action isnt the same as when you die if you know what i mean. i have combat axe and i like it and it doesn't cost as much

both require some amount of skill and if you're used to the knife and are good with it, i'd recommend the combat axe as it has the same kinda of windup as the knife. The spade takes a while to get used to

It all depends really, you need to look into the pro's and con's of each weapon.

Axe:
Pro's:
Strong left click damage.
Strong right click damage.
Good range.
Fast, easy Headshots.(from my experience.)

Con's:
Slow
You cut off your fingers when you pull it out(Seriously, whats the deal with this? -.-)

Field Shovel:
Pro's:
Strong right click damage.
Amazing range(even without lag o.O)
You hit your opponent on the back swing(this is a pro and con however, and will be fixed.)

Con's:
WEAK left click damge(30-50 $:\$ )
Very slow!(Can be used to your advantage however ;P)
Timing is off.
Makes a lot of people rage and QQ.(this is also a pro

)

Theres more but honestly, thats all i got.

the damage is pretty much the same, the shovel is lighter tho....

I have both weapons, but I'm using Shovel atm....

My axe is going to say good bye in 4 days :l

Pretty much the axe is slower and heavier, but hits harder. The shovel is lighter and faster but weaker. The axe is a guaranteed one hit kill with right click, while the shovel will sometimes do only 90 damage.

That's why i prefer the battle axe, with 1 hit kill ^^

Jester011 · October 2009

I've used both axe and shovel and i suggest u buy axe. With axe although it has a slow start it's way easier to kill and oppenent, u dont even have to do powermove to get a headshot kill wich is a very good thing. I find shovel hard to use, cuz when oppenent gets to close it doesnt actualy hit him and ye it's powermove is slow but garantueed k0.

i personally like more my shovel.. cons: you will need to play a lot with it if you play t master it..!

all ya need if you can aim properly

99VZD66 · October 2009

its actually called "Combat axe", anyways, when i had the axe, i used to pwn, idk the shovel, never used it.

PrinceOfGuns · October 2009

you can say that the axe is the awm and the shovel is the dragunov or psg1

MasterBrett · October 2009

axe does 80 damage to legs 100 anywhere else. shovel is ALWAYS 1 hit kill. (right click)

shovels left click is same as knife but slower. axe is 1 hit kill to face. usually 80 to body.

shovel is lighter. but harder to aim and time.

the range between shovel and axe and knife is generally unnoticable. (people lagging is why shovel has a reputation for having a good range)

overall, shovel is better in ghost mode. axe is better in knife only matches. knife is better for emergency pull-outs for when u run out of ammo.

whos gonna carry a shovel into battle, unless ur versing zombies or digging a trench of course

Both the AXE and the Shovel are similiar weapons. Both kill anyone in 1 hit if you use the right click function. If you left click it's usually a 2 hit kill, unless you hit the head. Probably the biggest difference between the 2 is the delay the right click functions have. The AXE has a short delay before attacking. The Shovel has a longer delay before you actually attack with it. In short you can kill more people in a shorter amount of time with the AXE than with the Shovel. But the Shovel weighs slightly less than the AXE which means you can run faster and get away from trouble quicker than the AXE can. The AXE, in my opinion is an easier weapon to master because it is the closest melee weapon in the American version that has similiarities to the knife. Such similarities are the delay, feel ect. The Shovel is very different from the Knife and the Axe in delay, running speed and feel. Though stat wise the Shovel would be a better choice because of the weight compared to the AXE. I would recommend you buy the AXE to start with and when you feel comfortable with that you can go for the Shovel.

Hope this helps.

Happy Halloween!

The axe sometimes only does 80 is people have armor or it hits there feet, But axe's left click is so easy to get Head shots, Shovel isnt

METALFTW · October 2009

i'd get the shovel since u have a longer range

merzente · October 2009

I propose a new weapon =_____=
Big Mallet
long range
you can only walk with him
100% damage
primary frontal blow
secondary 360 turn
