Breach axe

Breach axe

"A combined blade and tool-head attached to a sturdy haft. While slightly less effective than other weapons against human enemies, it excels at tearing down walls, doors, and other structures thanks to its integrated tool-head."

Breach axes are sharp melee weapons, as confirmed by ideology DLC's "weapon pairs", that trade general efficacy for extra damage against buildings.

Although relatively weak against pawns, the breach axe utilizes a damage type called "demolish," which is a blunt attack that does 10x damage against buildings. These are carried by breacher pawns in tribal breach raids.

Acquisition

Crafted at the fueled and/or electric Smithy, unlocked after researching Smithing.

Made with 50 "metallic stuff" and 5,000 ticks (1.39 mins) of work.

Summary

Like the Thump Cannon, the Breach Axe's structural damage multiplier is by 10x (ten times) the damage it would do to a pawn. Made of steel: 6.22 DPS becomes 60-75+ DPS (it varies in testing).

Analysis

As it is a sharp class weapon, Plasteel averages higher DPS to pawns, Uranium may yield higher structural DPS, but it is unclear (at this point in my testing).
