Mod:DUST Survival Simulator/Makeshift Scythe

The Makeshift Scythe is a craftable two handed melee weapon in Fallout: DUST.

Characteristics
Despite being cobbled together from just a lawnmower blade and a crutch, the Makeshift Scythe is not only a durable, but also a powerful melee weapon even in the hands of unskilled Survivors.

Its exceptional reach and its quickness allow for more sophisticated close quarter and short range combat tactics.

General scarcity of ammunition further adds to its value, but its rather high weight needs to be taken into consideration.

Also, the Makeshift Scythe can be rebuilt, restoring it to maximum condition, just from the parts yielded by salvaging it. A feat it shares with for example the Makeshift Axe.

Used almost exclusively used by Tribals and Cannibals, it is easy to obtain, and if not used as a weapon, salvaging it still provides valuable parts used in crafting, especially crutches.
