Sickle

The Sickle is a new weapon set to appear in "Ascension". It appears to be on a control panel near a Rocket Platform launch pad. It is the Russian equivalent of the Bowie Knife. It is thought that the sickle will decapitate zombies due to its shape.

Trivia

 * The picture shown for the first strike cover art shows Dempsey with the sickle in his hand.
 * It is a reference to the symbol of the USSR.
 * This is the partner of the hammer which refers to the quote where Nikolai says "I got a hammer, go find me a sickle" in Der Riese when he gets the Carpenter power up.
 * It will cost more than a bowie knife but less than a pack-a-punched weapon.
