B42 Rain's Axes & Blades

Description
This mod adds some cool new axes & long bladed weapons to PZ! It doesn't overwrite anything that's base PZ stuff, so it shouldn't cause issues with any other mods that also stay true to the base PZ code.

This is a work in progress, just like B42 unstable itself.



List of new stuff

Trait: Sword Enthusiast
"You collect and maintain swords on the regular." +1 Long Blade, +1 Maintenance. -4 points. Thanks to Steam user 운빨좆망겜 for the suggestion!

Bush Machete
A very well crafted Bush/Latin style carbon steel machete. Durable and sharp!
Curved Machete
Not quite a hawkbill, but still a hooked-blade machete that's just a bit longer than the other machetes.
Sawback Machete
A true multitool! You can hack zombies to pieces with it, and you can use the hard toothed saw blade to turn logs into planks. Leave your saws at home if you find one of these! (You'll still need a hacksaw to saw metal, duh)
Bush Machete (Long)
A two-handed long-handled version of the Bush Machete for all your chopping needs!

Hatchet
A run-of-the-mill carpenter's hatchet.
Bearded Hatchet
A more viking-style carving hatchet.
Axe (Fiberglass)
Similar to both the fire axe and the wood axe, but with one HUGE improvement. The handle is made of nylon-fiberglass composite which makes it exceptionally durable! The downside being that once you do break this fine tool, wood glue won't help you repair it...
Axe-Maul
An absolute behemoth, this massive splitting axe is exactly what your woodcutting efforts will need. It also has a nylon-fiberglass handle and because of its size and weight, you can bust through a wall with this thing! Just like a sledgehammer, but better!
2 different types of Wakizashi
Let's be honest, we all want to find a Katana at some point. Did you ever wonder why we didn't have Wakizashis too? Well now we do! It's very similar to the Katana, but both the blade and the handle are shorter, allowing you to use this fine collector's item as a onehanded weapon AND attach it to your belt.
1 new variation to the Katana
It's just another Katana with a different style handle, that's all.
2 different types of Tanto knives
Since we already have 2 Katanas and 2 Wakizashis, I thought it was a great suggestion from Steam user brandonl271 to add Tantos as well. :)
Swiss Army Knife
The vanilla multitool has a 1-in-2 chance to lose Condition so I decided to bring back the mighty Swiss Army Knife from the B41 version of this mod. Go ahead and try to break it. It will break you first.

About balance
The new katana and both wakizashis are almost just as rare as the basegame katana. I've given them a few additional possible spawn points.
The Axe-Maul is almost as rare and difficult to find as sledgehammers are. There are a couple of new spots where my stuff can spawn in though, so be vigilant when looting!

To-Do-List
Breaking, crafting and repairing recipes/scripts. I haven't yet had a proper chance to dig in deeply into the new B42 lua scripts so at launch my stuff might act a bit weird, just like everything else in the unstable.

Credits
Massive kudos to AnOutdatedMind for creating the 3D model for the sawback machete!

Like my mods? Want me to make something for you? :)

Do not reupload any of my stuff without my permission. It took a lot of my spare time to get this mod done.

Yeah no, I won't make my stuff compatible with someone else's. Rachel is correct. :)
Rachel L Sep 17 @ 6:34pm 
Shouldnt it be the other way around?

Could you consider making this mod's katana compatible with the sheaths from [42] Tactical Sheaths Reborn?

@Nabissimo
Yeah it's basically a near-unbreakable multitool/handiknife.
Nabissimo Sep 16 @ 4:22am 
What are the swiss functions? Is the same as the multitool?
TheoryOfMadness Sep 3 @ 8:25am 
Yep Can't remove the bearded axe head either.

Great mod. Only problem I came across is that you can't dismantle the maul's axe head In the crafting menu (yet?) , so can't switch the handle on it. Works for (most) other items from what I saw so far. Haven't found em all to test.

@dentagram_
That's weird. Mine are perfectly fine. I did notice that several mods did break with the update. Mine however did not.
Also I can't do anything about B42 Unstable being unstable.

If we're adding more katanas, any plans for some european/hema blades?
