Cleaver

The Cleaver is an obtainable weapon which has a 10 minute spawn rate. It is a seemingly random cleaver not unlike one used for cutting meat. A better option than the Leadpipe, although it is overshadowed by the Glass Knife, Sledgehammer, and Fireaxe.

Since the Effects update, the Cleaver now has Expose, which when hitting an opponent they take more damage for a selected period of time.

Advantages

 * Extremely high recharge speed.


 * Repeatedly jabbing is very over powered and does a ton of damage in the long run.

Disadvantages

 * Not good range and the charge attack is useless when in comparison to other weapons' damage.

Weapon Changes

 * Buffed with Expose (deal more damage on the next hit), was added in the Effects Update.


 * Removed old Cleaver spawn point (Library), replaced with the spawn point in the Storage room, was added in the Map Expansion Update.


 * Nerfed Jab damage by 1 (used to be 9 per jab), and jab speed reduced to the same speed as Machete.
 * Jab damaged nerfed by 1 again, used to be 8 damage per jab.

Trivia

 * The cleaver and the fireaxe are the only weapons to have Expose as its special effect.


 * It is also the only weapon (alongside Claws, which are Infected exclusive) to have the highest base jab damage of 7.
