Morning Star

"A rather large spike ball on a stick, it deals 75 damage per swing and unlike most melee weapons, can knock people out, along with causing them to bleed. Equipping it makes you run faster and Alt-firing lets you shield bash people." In-game description

The Morning Star is a slot 1 melee weapon for Shielder which can knockout people, deal bleed damage, and even allow you to shield bash, closing in the distance on enemies.

The weapon takes inspiration from the medieval weapon of the same name, while being colored fully gray.

Tactics

 * Use your frag grenades and stun grenades before engaging an enemy to knock them out easier.


 * Shield bash when approaching an enemy to close the distance and knock them out, then follow up hits with your Morning Star, which is usually enough to prevent them from getting up.
 * However, do note that enemies with stun resistance and full stamina will not be immediately knocked out with a single shield bash.


 * Try your best to stay undetected to be able to jump on enemies and kill them immediately.


 * When running away from an enemy, face backwards while moving so you are able to protect yourself from being fired at, while still being able to receive the speed bonus when you have the Morning Star equipped.

Trivia
The Morning Star was the first melee weapon that is capable of draining stamina, followed by the rocket anvil and the bat.
