Salvaged Cleaver

A slow, but powerful melee weapon. This is decent for PVPing but it's main use comes at farming components. The salvaged cleaver is one of the few melee weapons capable of destroying any barrel in a single hit. It is also fairly cheap, this makes it an ideal weapon to use when farming large amounts of barrels, especially if they are spread out.
