in KF2.1
the Axe was super weapon, you could kill army of specimens with it. if you heard of clan called [AM] which stand for "Axe Men" they buy/pick up an Axe then they stick together and start hitting specimens with axes (they call it Axe shield) lol
its good to kill many of clots,stalkers,gorefasts and even crawlers, but it's useless with ranged or strong specimens like bloats,sirens,scarkes and ofcourse
Teh FleshPounds
