Fragment Axe

This article has been updated for Kenshi version 1.0.40 (Experimental).

A Fragment Axe is a Heavy Weapon and as a result it takes a long time to swing and block if you lack the strength to properly use it. Very few men can stand up to such a mighty 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.

Edgewalker and above variants of the weapon are so absurdly heavy that it is impossible for an unaugmented mortal to wield them without penalties. Even with Robotics you require an insanely high level of strength to use correctly.

This weapon is primarily found in shops in the Shek Kingdom. A unique Axe is wielded by one of the Shek leaders.

A Meitou quality of this weapon can be found on Esata the Stone Golem in Admag or on Mukai the Mountain in Squin after she has been killed.
