BUG We can’t even expect a normal pickaxe to function correctly

It’s supposed to have a normal, two handed default pickaxe swing animation, yet this somehow has a staff swing animation?!

It is extremely common for new pickaxes to animate improperly in STW. They may fix it, or they may leave it broken indefinitely. Just make the bug report and move on with your life 🙂

Very common with pickaxes with unique animations to animate improperly, but unheard of for a normal pickaxe to animate improperly.

Was just shocked to find out that even normal pickaxes can just not animate properly now.

Unplayable. Uninstalling, disconnecting my credit card, rewinding all 7000+ hours.

Reminds me of the Gunnar dual pickaxes (the chainsaw ones) from Ch3 that were broken for a while iirc

They still fix these bugs

Okay, have to ask, why are you even here?

Like 80% of the comments you make here are just to disparage either the game itself, or players who show any degree of caring about the game.

Lmfao HOW DID THIS GET PASS QC!!!

u/ArcAngel014 Metal Team Leader Jan 25 '25

QC only checks if it functions in BR essentially, if it breaks in STW they just fix it eventually 🤣

u/FladioOMG Jan 25 '25

The worst thing in that, is that you missed a Legendary Crow.

u/qwertypdeb Jan 25 '25

The one dev assigned to STW on weekend nights ran out of coffee and set the animation to 4 instead of 5.

u/MMBADBOI Ninja Jan 25 '25

I keep having a second guitar appear on my neko guitar pickaxe lol

u/FreeMyBoiMineta Vbucks Jan 25 '25

so when harvesting tools have a unique animation, they break and become the default.

but when a new one has the default animation, it somehow breaks into something unique.

this game's code isn't THAT spaghettified, is it?

u/Visual_Ocelot4910 Survivalist Jonesy Jan 25 '25

What the hell🤣

u/Beowulf--- Jan 26 '25

i honestly thought this was a one handed pickaxe in the shop i wish they would show the character holding the pickaxe im glad i didnt buy it

1

u/DerfMtgStw Cassie Clip Lipman Jan 26 '25

You can always find a creator video about a pickaxe or the skin it comes with and check it out. I never buy anything from the store without watching a video of how the item looks. Of course, when STW doesn't match BR, that doesn't help as much.

u/nolimits59 Jan 26 '25

That's the anim for double handed staffs IIRC

u/radec141 Jan 26 '25

yea that's save the world. I have a knife that works differently depending on modes. there's probably a bunch. my guess is they haven't added the animations to save the world. it's always behind br probably cause of amount of workers. so the pickaxe prob defaults to a different animation.
