Gauntlet of Doom

Sometimes, a knife isn't enough for a few zombies alone. You might need something a little more powerful. In comes the Gauntlet, or rather, the Gauntlet of Doom. From the name itself, it sounds like a beastly weapon. With the ability to do 500 damage per swing and annihilate any zombie that dares challenges you, this is truly a force to be reckoned with. However, it has a slow swing speed and you still carry the 3x damage to zombies attribute.

Advantages

 * Deals a large amount of damage. This can be used to finish off Fatkid or to one-shot zombies. Mainly usable in close range.


 * Has a special move that mimicks Fatkid's "Q" ability. This is activated by holding F and left clicking. This can be used for climbing up to areas to take a shortcut.

Disadvantages

 * Very hard to find. Due to how it only spawns on 2 maps and on a specific mutation, it is nearly unobtainable.


 * Slow swing speed. A Gauntlet cannot deal with hordes, but rather individual zombies. Using it in a horde will likely result in death.


 * Still carries the 3x damage taken from zombies attribute, same as the Knife, meaning you are still vulnerable while you hold it.

Trivia

 * Second Human-only melee in the game.
 * First weapon that is able to be obtained both by picking up and a mutation.
 * First Human melee to use a key-activated move.
