Pickaxes

Pickaxes is a weapon class.

They can be used to mine ores, which no other type of player-weapon can do. Pickaxes formerly only hit a single target, but as of the Hearth and Home update, gained a cleaving attribute.

Their primary attack is a downward swing. They do not have a secondary attack.
