(Complete list of Hatchet or Sword using BattleMechs)
Description[edit]
Introduced in 3022 by the Lyran Commonwealth,[1] the Hatchet is a melee attack weapon used by BattleMechs. While most 'Mechs are equipped with ranged weaponry, melee weaponry is also feasible and useful due to increased damage potential (compared to a punch) and a lack of heat buildup.
Models[edit]
The hatchet is used by designs manufactured on the following planets:
| Model | Planet | Company | Mounted on |
|---|---|---|---|
| BSW Light Hatchet | Benet III | Johnston Industries | Valiant V4-LNT-J3[2] |
| BSW Light Hatchet | Dover | Wakazashi Enterprises | Valiant V4-LNT-K7[2] |
| BSW Light Hatchet | Solaris VII | Vining Engineering and Salvage Team | Valiant V4-LNT-K7, Valiant VLN-3T[2] |
| Defiance Type G3 | New Syrtis | Johnston Industries | [3] |
| FT130 Light 'Mech Hatchet | Valiant[4] |
Rules[edit]
Game Rules[edit]
In the BattleTech board game, the Hatchet is swung in the physical attack phase at −1 to hit, dealing a point of damage for every five tons of weight.[1] Notable 'Mechs carrying hatchets include the Hatchetman, Neanderthal, Axman, Buccaneer, Berserker, and a variant of the Black Knight.
