"This will definitely come in handy." — Henry Stein

The axe is a weapon used for breaking wooden objects as well as a self-defense against the hostile creatures from the Cycle.

It was also one of Henry Stein's primary weapons.

Description

Physical appearance

The weapon appears to be based on a fireman's axe, as it was originally meant to be designed for use in an emergency in case of fire. It has a lighter blade and a black handle, with a wooden tube at the top near the axe-head, and ring near the bottom of the handle.

Usage

Its main usage is for chopping wooden boards and cutouts. It is also used as a melee weapon when fighting monsters encountered in several locations within the Cycle.

Gameplay

Locations

Bendy and the Ink Machine

• In Chapter 1: Moving Pictures, the axe is found in the room located in the building's lower level after walking down some service tunnels of the basement, appearing on a workbench next to a small casket.
• In Chapter 2: The Old Song, the axe can be reclaimed at the start in the ritual room, where it was leaning against one of the coffins. However, towards the end, the axe breaks in half when chopping down the last board to clear the hall while escaping from the sacrifice room, just before the encounter with the Ink Demon.
• In Chapter 3: Rise and Fall, the axe is given by Alice Angel for destroying the Bendy cutouts on Level K as one of her fetch quests. On Level 9's blocked office room, another axe can be found behind some of the crates next to Grant Cohen's "Genius Upstairs" audio log; the axe is used for breaking the wooden planks from the Heavenly Toy's room to access the enemy gauntlet.
• In Chapter 4: Colossal Wonders, the axe is only located in the attraction storage. It drops from within the workbench destroyed by Bertrum Piedmont during the boss fight, and is used to destroy the carousel's beam connectors to destroy each crane arms. The axe will soon break in half after breaking all four of Bertrum's crane arms.
• In Chapter 5: The Last Realm, the axe is received from Tom after Sammy Lawrence's boss fight, and was used for fending off the Searchers and the now-hostile Lost Ones from the Lost Harbor. The axe is lost, after falling down in the decrepit hallway.

Bendy and the Dark Revival

The axe, although unobtainable, reappears in the Pit as contraband in Chapter 4: Factory of Horrors. If Audrey were to return back to the same location in Chapter 5: The Dark Revival, the axe and other equipment were found missing.

Behind the scenes

The axe first appears in Bendy and the Ink Machine from all chapters up to date as the first main weapon of the game. Though it cannot be obtained in Bendy and the Dark Revival, it will return in Bendy: The Cage with new combat skills including the blocking ability.

The axe was added into Bendy and the Ink Machine as a random "end extra" while developing Chapter 1. In the prototype demo, prior to the release of several remastered updates, the axe is held on a wall mount instead of laying on the table, its swinging animation was oddly more smooth, but does not leave cut marks on the walls or any objects when the axe is used on them.

Furthermore, as introduced for the initial DLC release of Chapter 3, it is possible for breaking more wooden objects, such as chairs and barrels. Although this feature was reverted for the DLC release of Chapter 4.

The axe also appeared in Bendy in Nightmare Run as one of the medium-class weapons.
