New machete skin.

[Electrocuuute]

I know that since it's a skin it probably won't get changed (and the fact that no one really uses the machete anyways, correct me if I'm wrong), but
is it just me or does it look like an old oversized shaving razor?
It doesn't even seem to be long enough to look like a machete!
And it looks waaaay to similar to the knife. The only difference is like a few inches in length and the square tip.

 

[Crunch28]

yeah its a pretty useless weapon. Maybe it the width of the blade was longer and it was more powerful...

 

[Electrocuuute]

Yeah, It has a much higher damage that the knife (according to the trader menu, but I don't really notice it. The speed seems a bit too close to that of the axe as well. Maybe if it was sped up a bit, it'd be a worthwhile 2nd tier melee?

I'm a berserker and I prefer the machete over the fire axe and the chainsaw, I use no extra guns apart from the default 9mm.
I find the chainsaw to be too heavy and thus I get mobbed trying to run from things.
The fire axe, while light enough, does not attack fast enough for me to extend my ZED time.
The machete I prefer because it is very light and I can run from anything and still provides the ability to instantly kill a crawler and stalker no matter where I hit them, and critical headshots still kill Gorefasts instantly.

Agreed.
Machete (+Berserk) can decapitate most enemys in a single blow.
Unlike the axe, you can strike multiple times.

Ever seen John Rambo's knife in Rambo IV ?
