Pitchfork

Overview
The pitchfork is a melee weapon that is a standard pitchfork with some hay attacked at the ends. It has 3 prongs, a wooden handle and has a special ability.

Gameplay
The Pitchfork is a fast melee that comes with a damage buff special, it deals good damage and has an alright swing speed.


 * The damage buff ramps up your damage from 42 to 64. Due to its faster swingspeed, this makes it a direct upgrade to the Beebreaker. It lasts for a good 27 seconds, meaning that more than often, you can make use of this ability. What all this concludes is that the Pitchfork, is always ideal around close-quarters-combat when you are out of ammo.

Tips
While it is a completely alright weapon in its own right, most people should refrain from using it. Most guns are able to get KO's quickly in its effective range and this is considering that both you and the player that you are fighting are out of ammo. To put it simply, the Pitchfork (like most melees) is extremely situational and more often than not, have their damage output be too low.

However, that doesn't mean it can't get KO's though. Using methods to flank around the map, it is very possible to get an unaware player focusing on something else. For this, you can use the Speed and Gravity Coil. You can also use the Vest or Chocolate to have enough bulk to survive some hits, However, it should be best used to protect yourself from players with potent weapons and finish them off with your gun.
