Hatchets are a type of sharp melee weapon featured in Dying Light.

As a standard weapon for fighting in the early game, Hatchets preform adequate damage at a fast speed. They are best used against weaker enemies such as Biters, and aim for the head to deal maximum damage while throwing the targets around to avoid their counter-attacks.
