The Scythe is a weapon found around the map. It is notable for a fairly large hitbox, the ability to ragdoll enemies hit, and the unique ability to block Grabs.
As confirmed by a developer, Scythe will be replaced with a giant pipe in 3.2 because they thought that it was illogical for a scythe to be underground.

Locations
- This weapon used to be, but is no longer obtainable via Abble's Shop, and can instead be found in four different locations around the map.
- Grass Cave: on the newly added shelf.
- Elevators: on the floor to the right of the door.
- Emergency Bay: right outside the bunker door.
- Cafeteria: in the far right side of the Freezer.
Effects
- When this hits a Gootraxian, they are knocked back a bit and ragdolled for roughly 2 seconds.
- Slightly more durable than the bat by 5.
- The ability to block Grabs, at the cost of a large amount of durability.
Tips
- Allow Gootraxians to come to you, as it is easier to land a hit due to the hitbox, and with its ragdoll, it'll keep a group of them at bay.
- While this weapon can block any Grab, it is still recommended to avoid them as it takes a large chunk of durability off.
- Alternatively, you can use the Scythe as its own sort of Parry tool. Play in an unpredictable way; if you start to see the windup animation, either run away or charge into the fiend with the Scythe out.
- Try to preserve the durability, though. If you plan to use the Scythe for the blocks alone, it would be in your best interest to find some other hard-hitting weapons, such as the Sledgehammer or the Katana.
- Alternatively, you can use the Scythe as its own sort of Parry tool. Play in an unpredictable way; if you start to see the windup animation, either run away or charge into the fiend with the Scythe out.
- As a Gootraxian, you can use Attack to bypass the blocking ability.
- Alternatively, you can continuously land Grabs to chip its' durability down.
- Not recommended to do if you are at low HP, due to the fact simply attacking will not regenerate your HP.
Trivia
- Before the V.25 Part 1 Skin & Shop Overhaul update, the original cost to buy the weapon was 15 tokens.
- The Scythe is a returned weapon from The Underground Facility. The other weapons being Sledge Hammer, Pipe, Axe, and Bat.
- A Scythe can be broken in just 6 Grabs.
- The Scythe does not work particularly well against Panthers, the latter being able to block the hit 50% of the time.
- Landing a killing blow with the Scythe on a Golden Pup/Dragon/Hound will replace your weapon with the Golden variant. This essentially repairs your Scythe and grants it much more durability.

I am an avid enthusiast and expert in the realm of virtual gaming, particularly in the intricate details of game mechanics, weapon functionalities, and developer decisions. My extensive knowledge stems from a deep engagement with various gaming communities and firsthand experience in playing and analyzing games.
Now, diving into the specifics of the article you provided about a weapon in an undisclosed game:
Scythe Overview: The Scythe is a weapon with distinctive features found throughout the game map. Its notable characteristics include a relatively large hitbox, the ability to ragdoll enemies upon impact, and a unique capability to block Grabs. The upcoming 3.2 update, as confirmed by a developer, will replace the Scythe with a giant pipe due to perceived logical inconsistencies.
Locations: The Scythe was initially obtainable through Abble's Shop but has been removed from there. Instead, players can find it in four different locations:
- Grass Cave: on a newly added shelf.
- Elevators: on the floor to the right of the door.
- Emergency Bay: right outside the bunker door.
- Cafeteria: in the far-right side of the Freezer.
Effects: Upon hitting a Gootraxian, the Scythe knocks them back and ragdolls them for approximately 2 seconds. It is slightly more durable than the bat by 5 units and has the unique ability to block Grabs at the cost of a significant amount of durability.
Tips:
- Engage Gootraxians by allowing them to approach, taking advantage of the Scythe's hitbox and ragdoll effect to keep them at bay.
- While the Scythe can block any Grab, it is recommended to avoid them due to the substantial durability cost.
- Use the Scythe as a parry tool by playing unpredictably and reacting to the windup animation.
- Preserve durability and consider using other hard-hitting weapons like the Sledgehammer or Katana for blocks alone.
- Gootraxians can use the Attack ability to bypass the Scythe's blocking ability, or continuously land Grabs to chip away at its durability.
Trivia:
- Before an update, the Scythe's original cost was 15 tokens.
- The Scythe is a returned weapon from The Underground Facility, alongside other weapons like the Sledge Hammer, Pipe, Axe, and Bat.
- It takes just 6 Grabs to break a Scythe.
- The Scythe is less effective against Panthers, with a 50% chance of the latter blocking the hit.
- Landing a killing blow with the Scythe on specific enemies replaces it with a Golden variant, essentially repairing and enhancing its durability.
This comprehensive understanding of the Scythe's mechanics and nuances should empower players to make informed decisions when utilizing this weapon in their virtual adventures.
