Hello again ladies and gentlemen, so I shall do another sort of weapon that is in the Melee Tree - yes, I made up that word. So this would strike familiarity to almost any R2D fan - even for R2DR fans. Yeppers, I am talking about the return of the Crowbar. However, it will have to differentiate with the existing weapons.

Many of you guys should obviously know what the Crowbar looks like, but an image will be shown below here. Alright, onwards to the statistics for the weapon:

- - - - - - Questions That You May Be Concerned With - - - - - - 

Why Is The Crowbar Cheap And Affordable For Low-Middle Ranks?

Technically, there is no trip effect on the weapon - so to stun a target will not be possible and one of the reasons that it is cheaper. Besides, there is too much Trip Effects on melee weapons - Going for something different such as having Blunt Trauma as a Status Effect would be quite interesting to see implemented in melee weapons.

Does The Blunt Trauma's x1.18 Damage Increasement Add Up With Other Weapons?

Yes, but however, it does not last for long depending on the type of target in question. Battlestation games (Survivor VS Survivor) may be useful to kill your target quickly - if your opponment does not have a tripping weapon to stop you. It is generally purposed for Survivor VS Zombies gamemodes, since it helps you and your team kill off a target faster.

Why Is The Energy Consumption Low?

Since it can hit one target at a time, and with a longer swing time, the Crowbar is slightly lighter than some of the other melee weapons to lessen the drain of energy. There are tools like this that are made with different materials than being a straight-out metal tool, so I think this is logical in a way.

Why Would I Suggest This Weapon?

It be nice to have the nice Crowbar back - not to just be like Gordon Freeman, but just a different weapon that doesn't have a cursed trip effect - we have too many of them with this effect already. To compensate without the trip effect, Blunt Trauma is initiated to weaken your targets - if you are lucky enough asd it does not occur as often.

[TL:DR]: Read Statistics, skip questions if you desire, then comment your opinions below.

*In Short: A returning melee weapon that isn't a freaking tripping tool...
