Description
The pickaxe is a bad, (Edited by Local; underestimated) weapon in Mortem Metallum, most commonly used to troll. Nobody, even new players, don't use the pickaxe. It's just that bad (Underestimated) and I would never recommend it. (Edit: Local here, I don't recommend you to main the pickaxe considering it's gonna take weeks or even months to even master it, but if you do become one you need a medal of honor.) The weapon is so bad (underestimated), that there are 0 images on google when you look it up, so I had to take one myself. Nevertheless, here is a list of some pros and cons.

(EDIT: THIS IS LOCAL THE PICKAXE MAIN HERE, THE PICKAXE IS DEADLY WHEN USED CORRECTLY)

Strategies:

Aim for the Head to get a potential Head crit that can instantly kill anyone, make sure to change where you hit rather than the head to make you unpredictable, and while using a pickaxe make sure to parry or dodge attacks the short range is gonna be your downfall but after they attack immediately retaliate and go back on the defensive.

Counter: Against a good pickaxe player, do not let them get near to your head because of the chance your head is gonna get decapitated. And because of the short range, Make sure to dodge occasionally and dodge sideways pickaxes can't swing sideways.

Parrying is optional you can just mostly tank all the hits from the pickaxe just don't let them hit your head.
