Wayta duck!
Scout on throwing kitchenware at enemies

The Flying Guillotine is a secondary weapon for the Scout. It appears as a meat cleaver with Chinese characters(死肉 lit. dead meat) on the blade, near the grip. It is a ranged weapon that can be thrown at enemies to damage them, causing bleed damage.

Throwing the weapon from a long enough distance and scoring a hit will result in a mini-crit. Hitting enemies that are stunned will result in a guaranteed critical hit.

The Flying Guillotine has two different styles, Thirsty and Thirstier. Thirstier adds bloodstains to the blade of the weapon.
