Trivia[]
- The animations for the Hatchet will differ between third and first person modes. In third person, the player will hit any area of the body, hitting the head while in stealth mode. In first person, the player will only hit the back of the enemy, even while in stealth mode. A possible reason for this is that hitting an enemy in first person would show more of the gruesome damage inflicted.
- The Hatchet was originally exclusive to returning players, however as of Summer 2017 it is available to all players.
