Scythe sc

An unholy scythe forged long ago in the depths of Hell.

—In-game description

The Scythe is the first purchasable melee weapon and costs 72 Sheriff Stars. This weapon doesn't need ammo.

This is, in the long run, an excellent coin saver, and is best used against close ranged foes like Nightwalkers and Cultists, though it can also be very effective against gunners and Bandits due to its high damage. The Scythe, once wielded leaves you with little control for about 1 second, so swing wisely, and do not use it in places where it is hard to move!

It can also be used while mounted on a horse. When you trigger the attack button, you will swing it from left to right.

You can also "charge" it by pressing down on the attack button. If you release the button after a few seconds, you will perform two cyclones and finish off by slamming it on the ground.

When the attack button is triggered while behind cover, you will come out from the cover and slash twice according to whichever end of the cover you emerge from.

Trivia

  • It is slightly harder to kill enemies while mounted, as attacks will often miss the target. One strategy is to time your attacks.
  • You get a 10% speed boost once drawn for 2.1 seconds and a 5% speed boost for all the other time.
  • Damage is greatly increased in Multiplayer, sometimes even more than 700 HP damage.
  • It takes much wider range than the Hellraisers to kill your enemies one by one as well as doing more damage.
  • When on a horse, switching to an empty weapon and then the Scythe will make you stand on your horse while holding the Scythe. Then, pressing the attack button will make you hold the Scythe in front of your face.

Bugs

  • The currency used to purchase it and Demon Thrower were swapped, which allowed it to be purchased for 120 coins (less than Rusty Gun!), and the Demon Thrower to be bought for 150,000 Sheriff Stars. This was fixed.
  • This is the spiritual weapon of Multiplayer, and it appears alongside you whenever you join a match.
  • Sometimes this weapon will remain sheathed when wielded.
