Strategy
The Pitchfork may be a decent alternative for the Shovel, with its incredible reach and a durability better than the Board With Nails. However, it has low damage and high stamina consumption without the Light Materials upgrade, thus using other melee weapons is usually preferable.
It offers decent combat capabilities against Dogs, Huge Dogs, Villagers, Savages and performs fairly when finishing off enemies trapped by the Bear Trap. Its unique long range attack makes it more difficult for Savages to backstep your attack.
Trivia
- The Pitchfork has identical upgrades to the Axe and Shovel with the exception of not having the Sturdy Blade upgrade.
