Machete -> Entrenching Tool (Ice Colony)

[Monoo]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Taking a machete onto an ice world makes zero sense. Like, none at all. As someone who loves bringing a machete along on his journey, I think this weapon could use a change on the ice map for immersion and utility.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Prevents marines from having to hunt for snow shovels on the surface and makes the machete make sense in the setting.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Simply swap the machete for one of these:

Which gives marines a shovel to start the round with. It will have all of the same stats and values as the machete, besides being able to shovel snow like an ordinary shovel.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Coding, spriting, etc. Just swap it out for the map just like the regular armor is swapped out for snow armor.

I question how this would ahve the same stat values as a machete.

Entrenching tools and survival shovels are lethal weapons.

One in each hand, with a knife in my teeth and a bandolier of grenades as my only armor.

A quote from a book written by someone who served in world war one easily explains its use.
"But the bayonet has practically lost its importance. It is usually the fashion now to charge only with
bombs and spades. The sharpened spade is a more handy and many-sided weapon- Not only can it
be used for jabbing a man under the chin,but it is much better for striking with because of its
heavier weight. And if one hits between the neck and the shoulder, it easily cleaves as far down as the chest.
The bayonet easily jams on the thrust and the man has to kick hard on the other fellow's belly to pull it out again
and in the interval, can easily get one himself. What's more is that the blade often gets broken off."

Basically, shovels and entrenching tools are fucking deadly and usefull. +1

On a human? Okay yea, I'll give you that. On a killing machine, that regulary gets into fights on it's home planet with other things with claws just that sharp? It's probably safe they've adapted to take a little more punishment. Only reason machete is so strong, is because that's ALL it's created to do. Hack through things.

Shovels are made of just as strong or stronger alloy, and heavier weight allows for incredible feats of damage. Just because something is made to do something, doesnt mean its DA bes.
