The Machete and Pistol is a melee weapon with a three part combo.

Details

• Special Effects:
  • For the first two attacks of the combo, the machete is used.
  • The third attack in the combo deals critical damage, knocks back enemies, pierces shields, and inflicts a fire status effect.
    • The pistol's blast has a greatly extended hitbox which does damage in a cone shape. This third attack is useful for crowd control, flying enemies, and finishing off enemies who are out of range of the machete.

  • Base Breach Damage: 45 / 55 / 260
  • Base Breach DPS: 117 (255)

  • Forced Affix: Last Cycle Spam
    • "Only uses the last attack in the combo."

Location

In the Prisoners' Quarters, there is a chance for a lore room to spawn with an altar. Examining this altar will drop this item. Upon doing so, player will be cursed with a one-kill curse. Picking the item up will instantly unlock it.

• "So menacing! Should I really search it?"
• "Oh, it's not like it's cursed or anything."

Notes

• This weapon functions almost identically to the Twin Daggers in that the third attack of the combo deals critical damage.
• Like some other weapons, this weapon's combo can be offset by a dodge or a parry, allowing the player to change position before unleashing the pistol.
  • As such, this weapon is well suited to hit-and-run strategies, and pairs well with ranged weapons that also scale with Tactics.
• Although the last hit of the combo appears to be ranged, the game recognizes it as a melee attack. Therefore, it can trigger relevant mutations such as Melee or Open Wounds.
• Its Legendary Version has an unique icon (), but still counts as a melee weapon. Also, it's Legendary Version loses the ability to inflict the Burn Status.
• Damage over time stacks that are applied directly by this weapon are affected by the Point Blank mutation.

Trivia

• This weapon is based on weapons from the game Curse of the Dead Gods.
• This weapon and the Scavenged Bombard^TQatS are the only two traditional firearms currently in the game.
• These are among the four single-slot weapons that use 2 weapons in their attack in the game, the others being the Twin Daggers, Flashing Fans^TBS and the Shrapnel Axes.
• While wearing the Knight's Outfit, the last hit of the combo will cause a visual glitch where the player’s model appears much larger than it should be.
