A ridiculously unwieldy weapon sometimes used by Skeletons. Requiring both dexterity and strength to use properly, they are widely known as "Suicide Blades", because they often get their users killed.

The Falling Sun, like the other Heavy Weapons, has an extremely high damage potential, sometimes doing enough damage to outright kill an opponent in one hit. The Falling Sun is the lightest of the Heavy Weapons. As it has a lower blunt damage amount, it requires less strength to be able to use it effectively. An experienced user is someone to be feared.

The damage boost against Gorillos applies to only standard Gorillo and the Great White Gorillo, not Black Gorillos or the King Gorillo (nor the character Gorrillo and his Gorrillo Bandits for that matter).

The Falling Sun stands out among heavy weapons for its greater cutting damage compared to its blunt damage, making a Rusted Junk quality one a somewhat viable Dexterity training weapon.

This weapon has inventory dimensions of 2x10, meaning it can only be used as a primary weapon. Like other heavy weapons, this item will not fit into standard inventories. It must either be equipped or carried inside a backpack.

High-quality versions of this weapon are commonly found in the Scraphouse. Low to Medium quality versions of this weapon are sometimes found in Shek, Mongrel, Flotsam, and Tech Hunter weapon shops. Cross-manufactured Falling Sun is found on one ancient leader. A Rusted Junk quality version may be found extremely rarely in bars in The Hub or Mourn, in shops in the Shek Kingdom, or crafted.

The Meitou-version of this weapon can be found on Mad Cat-Lon, the leader of the Second Empire Exile.
