How awesome is the Hatchet, how annoying is the feat?

[dsm1891]

I have never used the hatchet.

Cant you just chuck it at the ground and then pick it up?

I hate the hatchet, I can't get used to the aim xD

Picking up the Hatchet was the one that took the longest, And I even had been picking it up as I went along too.

Post-mortem kills were easy. Just look at the Mighty as he's diving and even if you don't let go soon enough (read: don't let go till he killed you) you'll automatically let go of the Hatchet and it'll kill him. Got my last 4 kills this way once I realized it.

I just absent-mindedly promoted with only one post-mortem kill left to go, so maybe I'll try that.

Now if I can just improve my aim...

Hatchet might be my favorite weapon. It's amazing when you play the high on the leaderboard healing station + motivator campers and can kill them with one well placed hatchet.

P.S. They need a hatchet leaderboard.

<3 me some Hatchet. It'll be the first thing I unlock after I promote again, too. Too bad I'll be using Boomerang until then, though
Its a bit easier to finish the Headshot Pro 8 feats with the enemy stunned, rather than dead by the Support Item instead of my gun lol.

When i first got GCI i used this just for ****s and giggles, I ended up hating it because it was so situational. I finally hit level 100 and figured i'd try something different out and went back to it, now i f'in love it. The fact i can quickly toss it at a heavy and continue to fight others surrounding me is very nice and an across the map hatchet kill is probably the most rewarding feeling next to across the map flick shot bear stalker headshots (thats a mouthful).

As for the feats, i'm on my very last one which is i have to do kills after i die with it, which is stupid and really annoying because it's so rare that when i die i haven't already used my hatchet. I have finished all of the achievements and i'm sitting at 4/7 for after death kills. yay o_O

There was another thread we were talking about the post-mortem kills. Don't remember which thread it was...

Basically, you can run around with your Hatchet 'cocked,' take a divebomb hit and if it kills you, the Hatchet releases and kills whatever's in front of you. So just make sure you're looking at the guy.
This happened to me when I was trying to throw the Hatchet at the guy bombing me, but I threw too late and discovered I could kill him that way.

I realized that you're almost playing to die here, but its only what, 7 kills? so not that bad.

Running into a Camp of Mightys is also a good and really quick way to get post mortem kills.

So the consensus is to look for the d-bags running around using d-bag tactics. Apparently they're able to kill us a split second before we get our Hatchet to their face lol.
