The Slasher

|-|Normal= The Slasher is a melee weapon available to all factions. It can be unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash, but only during the Nanite of the Living Dead event.
 * -|Auraxium=

The Slasher functions identically to any faction's standard issue knife, with only aesthetic differences. It deals a moderate amount of damage per swing, and has a relatively fast swing speed. It can be used both as a quick melee weapon, as well as a wielded melee tool.

In addition, the Slasher plays a short tune to the user whenever they kill an enemy with the Slasher, with the victim hearing a longer version of that same tune when they die to the knife.

To quick melee with this weapon, press the Melee Attack hotkey ( by default) while holding any other weapon. To equip this weapon for wielded melee, press the Equip Melee hotkey ( by default).

Ribbons and Medals
It is possible to earn both Ribbons and Medals while using. Each ribbon is a standard reward for achieving a set amount of kills with the melee weapon. Medals are awarded upon reaching kill milestones with the weapon.
