Editing Machete (section)

==Advantages & disadvantages==

===Advantages===
*Cheap;
*Fast attack rate;
*Reliable to keep [[Patriarch]] busy with hit and run as he whiffs and team focus fires;
*Often found lying around and sold for a good price of 375£ off-perk;
*Offers speedbonus onperk like other Berserker weapons;
*High headshot multiplier of 1.25x, decapitates lesser specimens with a single slash;
*Very lightweight;
*Allow experienced players to perform Scrake flinch trick for speedkills;
*Extremely useful in the hands of a Level 3+ Berserker or a high level Field Medic;
*Makes a good backup weapon to heavy (ie. [[Hunting shotgun]], [[Chainsaw]]), slow (ie. [[Scythe]]) or low ammo (ie. [[MP7M]]) weapons.

===Disadvantages===
*Limited range;
*Falters at the terms of damage against medium-high threats, offperk or onperk;
*Requires precision to swing it due low damage, else gets you punished for it;
*Nearly useless against the big late-game specimens ([[Fleshpound]] and [[Patriarch]]), besides kiting and keeping them busy;
*Almost completely useless against [[Scrakes]], solely as they gain an inner cooldown for flinch at high difficulties;
*Has no wide reach unlike other heavier weapons, getting swarmed gives no recovery;
*Not really cheap for off-perk, considering the damage it offers.
