The axe is the one weapon unlock beyond the starting kitchen knife that's solidly established — Michael's arsenal grows, and this is its confirmed first step. Anything beyond the axe remains unverified.
What it does
A heavier melee option for Michael. What we won't claim: exact damage numbers, speed differences, or unique execution sets — none of that is officially published, and community comparisons conflict. Unverified
How to unlock it
Reports place the axe behind progression/challenge rewards rather than a purchase, consistent with how the reward systems work generally — but the exact requirement isn't pinned down. Reported The XP tracks guide covers where weapon-related rewards come from.
Knife or axe?
Until numbers land, pick by feel and by the Weapon XP track: usage levels each weapon separately, so time on both is progression either way. The honest current answer to "which is better" is that nobody has published testing that survives scrutiny.
