Removed Weapon

---

This weapon has been removed from the game. There are no legitimate ways to get it unless tested or stated otherwise. (such as Moderator+ commands)

Reason: Removed in place of the Long Pipe.

The Scythe was a weapon in Kaiju Paradise. It has a long handle with a large, curved, sharp point at the top. Its variant, Golden Scythe, had a soft glow and sparkles.

Properties

"it large and sharp!! cut cut!!"

The Scythe has an unique ability in which it blocks grabs from Raytraxian at the cost of durability and slight damage to its wielder. Upon hitting a Raytraxian with the Scythe, they will ragdoll and get flung in the direction you hit them, knocking the Raytraxian away from you. Scythes also cannot be stolen by Slime Pups.

It has the longest range out of any melee weapon in the game, however, this comes at the cost of a longer cooldown. Therefore, it's generally advised to utilize it offensively to clear larger swathes of Raytraxians, or to use it more defensively by relying on the ragdoll and longer range to keep Raytraxians at bay while the cooldown expires. Alternatively, it could be primarily used for its grab blocking properties only, relying more on secondary weapons to deal damage due to its relatively low damage output compared to others.

Upon breaking, text at the bottom of the screen will say: "The scythe broke into a million pieces."

If a Raytraxian tries to grab a player wielding a Scythe, they will slow them down, and cause 21 damage to the Human along side either of the text will display for the Raytraxian:

• If the scythe remains intact after being hit:
  • "Their scythe counters your Grab... Try Attack instead!"
• If the scythe breaks after being hit:
  • "The scythe broke into a million pieces."
  • "You broke their scythe, you're free to Grab now!"

If the player attacks a Raytraxian that can and does counter the scythe, the following text will display:

• "Seems like they managed to block/evade your scythe swing.."

Compared to a normal Scythe, the Golden Scythe is far more durable, capable of blocking up to 15 grabs instead of 11, being much more well equipped for dealing with grab-happy Raytraxians and offers a slight improvement to its damage. Unlike its regular counterpart, however, golden scythes will prevent its wielder from being damaged by grab.

Upon breaking, text at the bottom of the screen will say: "The golden scythe broke into a million pieces."

Before getting replaced after the V3.1, the Scythe had 14 skins.

Obtainment

The Scythe cannot be obtained from Abble's Shop. However, they used to be found scattered around the facility in four specific spawn locations, which can be found in the Weapons page. Unlike other items, which have a rather short spawn timer, the scythe spawns every 480 seconds (8 minutes).

The Golden Scythe can be obtained by killing a Golden Slime variant with a regular scythe or obtained by the randomly dropped gold weapon.

• Very high knockback
• High reach

Tips

Please note that most things listed in this section are not objective, and are not the "Correct" way to use them. This section is used to give advice to players who want to learn how to use their tools more efficiently.

• Overall, a scythe best supports survivability more than other benefits gained.
• Scythes are ideal for more defensive or supportive play, given its downsides at the cost of its other abilities.
  • Due to its long cooldown and poor damage output in comparison to other weapons, a Scythe generally falls flat when it comes to more drawn-out combat.
    • These features, however, should not overshadow its auxiliary compatibility to be used in conjunction with other weapons due to its stun duration.
• The scythe's knockback can be used to push Raytraxians into the laser gates at spawn, instantly killing them.
• Try to attack from as far as possible. The scythe donning a vast hitbox can prove useful in dangerous situations.
• Its ability to block a Raytraxian's grab will retain any moment a scythe is being held, including while in the midst of being swung.
  • While its blocking animation will play if a Raytraxian uses grab on the scythe during its swinging animation, this will not cancel out the swing itself and will allow its wielder to still use the weapon.
• Despite one of its main attributes being its ability to block Grab, it is much better off to avoid being grabbed as a whole than to use its durability to deflect them as the player will still get damaged and slowed down significantly. Although scythes may block up to eleven (fifteen if Golden) instances of them, individual use on other targets should also be counted.
• The long cooldown time and lower damage makes you vulnerable after swinging at enemies. Try to hit the target(s), then attempt to gain at least some distance to avoid taking damage.
  • Try not to find yourself in a mob of Raytraxians, as the slow cooldown will fall under numerous punches and grabs that can take you down fast, which is also backed in the scenario you are slowed down by a blocked grab.
• Regardless of how low the wielder is, blocking a grab cannot reduce the scythe wielder's health past 1 given they are low enough to die by deflecting the grab.

Trivia
