📋 About This Mod
There is a much better hatchet mod by us now! - https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/108198
The newly added survival hatchet is a simple melee weapon that fits right at home in Fallout 4's sandbox.
The hatchet features a good bit of customization including new heads and handles that you can switch out at the weapon workbench.
As far as stats are concerned, the base damage of the hatchet is equal to the vanilla tire iron axe, and can be upgraded with modifications and perks.
The survival hatchet is added to the leveled lists and can be found on gunners, raiders, minutemen and vendors after level 5.
As always my assets are completely open to use, just credit me and let me know if you plan to use my stuff in your project.
