Machetes

[TopeyDopey]

What’s the point of using it? Where the fuck do you even get one

[Build_R_]

Req has some machete scabbards which are handy if you didn't want to have any carry space whatsoever. Machetes are good for clearing resin structures and fighting as a last-chance weapon when you've run out of ammo and want something stronger than a knife.

Also good fighting preds
Also you can ask your SL/Engi to give you one

[KennyTGuy]

In its scabbard it fits on your back, out of it it fits on your belt slot

[CABAL]

Also it fits in armor slot.

The Machetes can knock a Mask off pretty fast allowing you to hit it again in the head for a RNG knock out

honestly I just use it mostly for RP value, it's also fun to play akimbo gyro shotty + machete. I think it'd be cool if they gave machete's a substantial bonus to clearing weeds/resin.

they already do have a substantial bonus to clearing weeds/resin. They kill weed nodes in 1 hit instead of 3, and im not sure how much but I know they do kill walls and doors faster than a knife.

True unga loadout:

Roll PFC:
Take 3 machete in your armor, back and belt from your vendor
Ask for a medflask and an hyperzine flask
Run fast and beat up the benos with the power of foolness and Akimbo machete.

(To be honest, that works if you are good as fack at melee, however its more a fun loadout because 1 spit you dead)

[JennerH]

Machetes are the fastest non-flame or explosive method of clearing sticky resin, as they 1 hit weak sticky and 2 hit normal sticky. They also look sick as fuck in your armor slot combined with a rifle on your back

Works against crushers when you're blocking them from running, specially since there's no FF involved

Actually, you knock them out then take off the mask, allowing you to finish them off.

Machete is for clearing weed nodes and more importantly the EVIL that isSticky Resin

Ever seen a cave approach that is entirely made of that shit? You'll wish you had a machete.

Don't take it if you don't want to lose your satchel/backpack though, it's for robust marines who only think about killing benos, not for chill RP marines

[Ranged66]

Take a machete and riot shield and show the xenos what real melee is!

[Papa_Pollard]

Machetes are hot and let me cut PVT's up

[Kineem]

A team of two marines can clear out roughly one tile of sticky per second if one of them is armed with a machete. All it takes is one machete swing and one rifle or shotgun swing to clear sticky.
