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.
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, this weapon borrows sound effects from Alfred Hitchcock's movie Psycho. The user hears a short violin screech to whenever they kill an enemy with the Slasher and the victim hears several violin screeches in succession 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 The Slasher. 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.
