"Make kindling... of your pals with this easy to wield, easy to hide hatchet."

―Ammu-Nation description.

The Hatchet is a weapon featured in the enhanced version of Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.

Design

Grand Theft Auto V

"Add a good old-fashioned hatchet to your armory, and always have a back up for when ammo is hard to come by."

―Social Club description.

The Hatchet is made up of a brown handle and a grey blade, and has a small red, black and white stripe on the handle, near the blade. Its appearance is similar to that of the Fire Axe's.

Performance

Grand Theft Auto V

The Hatchet is a small, sharp melee weapon that is capable of dealing high damage (two hits to kill), similar to the Knife and the Antique Cavalry Dagger. Blood will appear on the blade of the Hatchet after hitting a pedestrian or other players.

The weapon can be used while riding motorcycles.

Trivia

Grand Theft Auto V

• The animations for the Hatchet will differ between third and first person modes. In third person, the player will hit any area of the body, hitting the head while in stealth mode. In first person, the player will only hit the back of the enemy, even while in stealth mode. A possible reason for this is that hitting an enemy in first person would show more of the gruesome damage inflicted.
• The Hatchet was originally exclusive to returning players, however as of Summer 2017 it is available to all players.
