Gameplay
[edit]The Boarding Axe acts as a highly versatile combination of the Hand Axe and the Sabre, providing high damage and effective crowd control. The Boarding Axe sports 2 sides to the same coin. A crowd-controlling front side, and a blunt single-target back side allowing the player to not only take on the stronger infected such as Zappers with ease, but also being able to effectively deal with high priority targets amongst groups. It possesses a slightly higher base damage than the Sabre, while encouraging a more aggressive playstyle due to its shorter range, which requires the player to get closer to Zombies in order to deal with them, leaving less room for error and more opportunity for the player to be grabbed and bitten by Shamblers.
The Boarding Axe's shorter range makes it more difficult to deal with the quick-moving Runners, which can easily avoid the swings of the Boarding Axe due to its erratic movement behavior. However, due to it being longer than its counterpart the Hand Axe, it does not need to be swung earlier in most situations.
