Great Trowel

"Also known as a shovel. This long lost brother to the Great Sword digs wide, waist-level walls with a longer reload. You can also alt fire to swing it at people! Swing attack deals 50% more damage to crippled or downed players!" In-game description

The Great Trowel is a slot 2 weapon for Trowel Guy which acts both as a melee weapon and a wall builder, and deals more damage to downed or crippled players. Its walls are only waist level high, being somewhat ineffective for actual defense, but equipping the weapon gives you stun resistance!

The Great Trowel resembles a shovel, with a light gray blade and a dark brown handle. Other smaller parts are dark gray. It builds a team colored wall and creates very loud noises whenever hitting a downed or crippled player.

Tactics

 * Since it functions very similarly to the trowel, the same tactics can be used for this weapon. See the trowel's page for the general tactics you should know on how to use this effectively.


 * It is recommended to keep the Great Trowel equipped when an enemy is not in range of any of your other weapons yet, as it grants you stun resistance.


 * It can be paired with any slot 1 weapon, although the cinder howitzer is one of the best picks as it is the only weapon for Trowel Guy that could cripple players.
 * Although you don't have to necessarily pair the Great Trowel with a specific slot 1 weapon, as it mostly comes in as a backup for finishing a knocked out enemy, and also for gaining stun resistance.


 * As the Great Trowel builds short walls, it helps you from being hit by a crippled player, and also blocks most explosive weaponry that is often shot at on the feet. The walls aren't entirely useless, but are alot less effective against bullet weapons.

Trivia
The Great Trowel used to be the name of the iron curtain before this weapon was added.
