The machete is a type of sharp melee weapon featured in Dead Island and Dead Island: Riptide. It can be sold by various merchants and found in metal chests or on killed zombies.
Overview[]
The Machete is your basic all round decent melee sharp weapon, featuring moderate damage and decent force for a sharp weapon at average durability (though still on the low side due to being a sharp weapon still) and a medium swing speed and stamina usage. For a melee weapon, the Machete is as basic as it gets, which isn't an all-round bad thing. The weapon has good damage for dealing with basic Walkers and works excellently on Infected, capable of easily decapitating them and any limbs it comes into contact with. Whilst the force is still rather low, it's quite good for a sharp weapon and one of the higher durability sharp weapons to boot. It's useful against special infected too, such as the Thug, and is overall a very serviceable sharp melee weapon.
