DID YOU KNOW? - Weapon Showcase

[h2]Weapons Showcase[/h2][p]
In Drunkonauts, almost anything can be a weapon. If you swing it hard enough.
Some tools are made to fix things. Others are made to cause problems.

If you can hold it, you can throw it.

Today, we’re looking at two simple items that hit harder than they should. Choose your favorite 👇


[/p][h3]The Sawblade[/h3][p]
Fast and sharp. Totally unsafe.

🪽 This blade isn’t attached to anything, it’s just meant to fly.
💨 It’s lightweight, fast, and very satisfying to land a hit with.
❓ Just don’t ask where it came from.

The ultimate “don’t think, just throw” weapon.
Best for players who enjoy danger as much as victory.


[/p][h3]The Shovel[/h3][p]
Simple. Heavy. Effective.

✅ 0% subtle, 100% gets the job done.
🪦 You can dig your own grave with it... or someone else’s.
🎯 You can also throw it to surprise your opponents.

Sometimes simple is best.
For players who want one tool for all problems.



[/p][h3]In Drunkonauts, any object can be dangerous.[/h3][p]
Not all of them explode. Some just… hurt a lot.

Would you use the spinning blade or the heavy shovel?
🌀 Sawblade — fast and wild
🪏 Shovel — strong and simple

Simple tools still work in space. Pick the one that fits your playstyle.
