Fireaxe

The Fireaxe is an obtainable, medium range melee item. It is one of the most powerful weapons in the game, doing 3-23 damage per hit, and having a backstab damage bonus.

The Fireaxe has the appearance of a normal fireaxe, having a wood handle and a blade that's painted red at the sides and the back, and not colored at the sharp edge / front.

Advantages

 * Has a powerful charge attack that can kill an Infected with 100 HP in 5 hits with full charges, and about 6 charges for an infected with more HP or damage resistance.

Advantages

 * The Fireaxe's jab is very weak, but won't harm overall power (3 damage, kills a 100 HP infected in 30 hits).
 * Due to being the second most powerful weapon in the game, it has a high demand, so it may be farmed constantly.

Trivia

 * This item is a reference to Afraid of Monsters, a half life mod made in 2005.
 * This is proven by the item's description, "David Leatherhoff's Axe", which mentions David Leatherhoff, the protagonist of Afraid of Monsters.
