About the PR

The Vraks handblade is now equivalent in DPS to the Chaos Machete, which it unlocks alongside anyway. It also now appears to swing blade-first when using RMB attack and stab point-first when using LMB. It still does piercing damage, as before.

Why / Balance

Currently, the handblade attacks at less than half the speed of the machete in exchange for only 5 extra damage. This arithmetic results in objectively worse performance than the machete, which has the same unlock requirements. This equalizes the two weapons in terms of damage capability without a significant balance impact overall.

Technical details

Lowered damage from 30 to 25
Increased attack rate from 0.7 to 1.5
Rotated the icon.png for the handblade by 180 degrees

Test plan

Localhost. Get handblade. Swing with LMB and RMB
