Shatter Scythe
From Hellgatewiki.com
The Shatter Scythe has been seen in a fair number of screenshots, but Flagship hasn't released any official info about it yet, so we can only conjecture. It doesn't appear to glow with fire or poison or lightning or spectral energy, so we assume it's physical. It's got an odd shape, with the indention in the blade, and an odd name too. It doesn't look much like a scythe (the curve in the blade, perhaps?) and as for shattering, we don't know if that refers to the weapon, to what it does to demons, or if it's just alliterative and without any deeper meaning.Name: Shatter Scythe
Type: Melee weapon
Damage: Physical direct?
Max Mod Slots: Unknown
Critical Hit Bonus: Unknown

"There's a weapon called the Shatter Scythe, but it doesn't really look like a traditional Grim Reaper of Death Scythe, you know?"
--Ivan Sulic, April 2006
While it's silly in retrospect, we spent a great deal of time in early 2006 trying to figure out what this weapon was. It looks like a sword, but the shine of light on the blade looks almost like wood, and the way the Templar is holding it is more reminiscent of cocking a shotgun that fighting with a blade. The texturing on the shatterscythe has improved over time, and in recent shots it's clearly a sword, albeit one with an odd shape. It's popular with demons, too.
