The Apex Machete is a legendary one-handed sword in Enshrouded. It deals cutting damage. At level 50, a legendary copy hits for 147 base damage. It attacks every 0.6 seconds, which comes to about 245 damage per second. It always has one gem slot for a gem. Its upgrades unlock extra lightning damage, critical strike chance, critical strike damage against Soaked enemies and damage against the Wildlife. It is found in the Veilwater Basin, where it drops from gold and silver sarcophagi in the Hollow Halls. The Blacksmith upgrades it.
Damage By Level
Base damage grows with item level and with rarity. The table shows the base damage before perks and gems. Each perk adds its own bonus on top.
| Level | Common | Uncommon | Rare | Epic | Legendary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 16 | 18 |
| 10 | 23 | 26 | 29 | 38 | 41 |
| 20 | 38 | 42 | 48 | 62 | 68 |
| 30 | 54 | 59 | 67 | 86 | 94 |
| 40 | 68 | 75 | 86 | 110 | 121 |
| 50 | 84 | 92 | 104 | 134 | 147 |
Enhancements by Level
Each upgrade at the Blacksmith raises a copy by one level and unlocks the next enhancement. The levels count from the copy's own level, so a level 9 copy unlocks them at levels 10 to 14. Rarity sets how many upgrades a copy takes: one for common, up to five for legendary.
| Upgrade | Unlocks At | Enhancement | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Level +1 | Lightning Damage | Adds Lightning Damage equal to 10% of base damage |
| 2 | Level +2 | Critical Strike Chance | +6% Critical Strike Chance |
| 3 | Level +3 | Lightning Damage | Adds Lightning Damage equal to 10% of base damage |
| 4 | Level +4 | Ruthless | +32% Ruthless |
| 5 | Level +5 | Damage against Wildlife | +10% Damage against Wildlife and Wildbeasts |
