Machete

The Machete is a sharp Melee weapon.

Combat
The Machete is a decent Melee weapon, having medium range and good damage. It is made of metal, so it's able to reflect bullets when blocking or swinging at the right time. It's also a good option to use it as a throwing weapon, but you risk losing the item if the enemy dodges or catches it.

If you use it right, it will kill or greatly injure an opponent quickly.

Trivia

 * Like the Katana, the Machete spawns in a sheath, and when disarmed or dropped, it will be shown unsheathed.
 * Machete was once the best melee weapon in the game until Pre-Alpha 1.8.8, due to the incredible block speed. Pre-Alpha 1.8.8 fixed a bug related to the animation of one-handed melee weapons being shorter in duration.
