(Complete list of Hatchet or Sword using BattleMechs)

BattleMech Hatchet

Description

Introduced in 3022 by the Lyran Commonwealth[1]. The Hatchet is a melee attack weapon equipped on BattleMechs. While most 'Mechs are equipped with ranged weaponry, melee weaponry is also both feasible and useful due to increased damage potential (over a punch) and a lack of heat buildup.

Models

The Hatchet is used by designs manufactured on the following planets:

Brand Planet Company
Defiance Type G3 New Syrtis Johnston Industries[2]

Rules

Game Rules

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.[3] Notable 'Mechs equipping Hatchets include the Hatchetman, the Neanderthal, the Axman, the Buccaneer, the Berserker, and a variant of the Black Knight.
