Pipe Wrench

The Pipe Wrench is the shortest Melee weapon, added in Pre-Alpha 1.1.3.

Combat
The Pipe Wrench is the worst Melee weapon as it has the shortest reach and shares the lowest damage and the first common improvement to Melee. As soon as you can find a better weapon, ditch this. Because of it's common spawn rate, it will give you an advantage at the start of a match, making it a decent weapon against those without anything. The Pipe Wrench has the most knockback in the game, however, so it can be used to knock opponents off ledges.

The Pipe Wrench has the same damage as the Bat, but is shorter. It could still be used to even out a fight against an enemy with the bat.
