Still Working Windmill
The Still Working Windmill is a Melee weapon introduced in the 22.1.0 update. It can be obtained from the Wind Chasers Lottery.
Description
It is a handheld windmill. It has good damage, very fast attack speed and fast mobility.
Appearance
The appearance is that of a white and orange handheld windmill with three blades and damaged handle. A red wire connects the handle to a pack on the users back, most likely the power pack for the windmill.
Performance
While attacking, the user activates the windmill, creating a windbox that pulls enemies in and damaging them with the blades. The shoot button can be held down for a chainsaw effect, dealing constant damage while pulling enemies in.
It has fixed delay, which means when you switch to this weapon from another weapon there will be a period where you are unable to attack.
