Description
For the victor, it is the symbol of war, of power and of dominance. For the loser, it is the symbol of a really bad haircut.

The Scalper Tomahawk, simply referred to as the Tomahawk on its announcement site, is a melee weapon available in PAYDAY 2, added with the release of The Butcher's Western Pack.

Overview

The Scalper Tomahawk is nearly identical to the Survival Tomahawk, except that it has one less point of concealment (26 vs 25) and has slightly less range (225 vs 200). It is highly recommended that players use the Survival Tomahawk over the Scalper Tomahawk once the former is unlocked.

Tips

• Players deal more damage per second with this weapon by attacking as quickly as possible, rather than fully charging attacks.
• If a player wishes for more damage, it is recommended that they get Berserker, Pumping Iron and Bloodthirst Aced from the Brawler skill tree.
• If a player wishes for more knockdown, use Martial Arts Aced.

Trivia

• The name "Scalper" is a reference to a common stereotype regarding American Indians; namely that they would use tomahawks to "scalp", or cut off the hair and head skin (a.k.a. "scalp") of their defeated enemies and claim it as personal trophy. This is also referenced in the weapon's description.
