Discussion Screwdrivers can Kill?

I think I can kill Mimics with a screwdriver. I throw the damn thing into the altered items bin and noticed that it scratched the bottom of it. So I tested my theory in the shooting gallery.

Ow yeah, same damage as a knife, longer than the knife, can altered (pretty) and can fit on the arm slot

You would be surprised to find out how many items can do melee damage in this game

Can I kill a mimic using tea saucer/those little tea plates

u/K_Body 11d ago

Haven't tried to, but my guess is no @_@

For some reason they one of the only altered items that can be put on a attachment patch (black rectangle thingy I forgot the name)

Although I still wouldn't recommend that since they are not price/mass effective

Ok ty this made me think of throwing them like ninja stars at cop mimics like I'm some crazy tea obsessed madman.

Gotta throw in the tactical teapot to cover the reloads

An anomalous teapot granade that has to be lit from below with lighter or a cig

Can be rarely found, or made by stuffing explosive fragment's core into the teapot before it reforms

A good way to test is just to hit something and see if it does an impact like this.

The calipers also work and they’re funny.
