A survivr that becomes the Red Leader in the game will automatically be given the Machete, Super 90, and a Flare Gun. However, if the red leader dies, other players can obtain it.

Description
Created by the Soviets before its fall in the early 1990s, the Machete is a knife shaped like a mini golf club. It has a hole drilled on the top, and has sharp spikes or serrations running down one side.

Strategy

 * Though the sprite looks intimidating, the Blue Leader should remember that his Tallow's Kukri does the same damage and has the same range. If the 2 leaders ever go melee fighting, the blue team leader should not be scared.
 * Like all Melee Weapons, it relies on Players being close to do damage. Stay a good distance back and start firing, although the Red Leader will probably switch to his gun by then.
 * Use the weapon's good range to your advantage when finishing people off.
