The Shovel is a weapon in POSTAL 2.
Description[]
From the manual:
The Shovel, though usually regarded as a tool for labor, is handy in combat as well. The primary fire key will cause The Postal Dude to swing the shovel. You can also press the secondary fire key to thrust the shovel. When used on a target repeatedly, this weapon can do severe damage.
The Shovel is first seen at the beginning of the game right in front of the player. It will be the first melee weapon the player comes across, and it is capable of two types of attacks, one being a swing and the other being a jab. Both of these attacks can decapitate after a number of whacks. The stab can only decapitate enemies with 0 health, while the swing has a chance to decapitate equal 1-(hp/maxHp). In later versions, the alt-fire is capable of severing limbs. Being a melee weapon, it lacks power but is still useful when in close quarters.
Enhanced Mode[]
The Shovel's attack speed is doubled. In addition, the primary fire will thrust the player backwards, and the secondary fire can be used to fly through the air, reaching places not possible during normal gameplay.
