Usage & Tactics

Despite its main function being a melee, it can be used as a tool to break open doors, registers, and safes to help you in gaining Cash. Note that if you use the crowbar for registers and safes, your stamina will run out ridiculously fast. The Crowbar is capable of unhinging doors swiftly and is one of the fastest methods of forcing a door open through destructive means, capable of busting down Metal doors in 3 hits. The Crowbar is quite an effective weapon due to its swift attack rate, and nearly unnoticeable mobility reduction (although, it has the same stamina usage as the Sledge hammer... I wouldn't recommend swinging too much if not needed). Despite normally being used as a tool by the general player base, if the opportunity presents itself, it can be a very reliable and effective self-defense weapon, capable downing unarmored players in just 3 hits.

Blocking

The Crowbar cannot block. The Crowbar can be blocked by, Baton, Taiga, Bat, Katana, Machete, Metal Bat, Scythe, Slayer's Sword II, ERADICATOR

Pros & Cons

High damage. Concusses on headshots. Can snap necks. Can fracture limbs. Can quickly break open locked doors (2 hits for wooden doors and the glass one at café, 3 hits for normal grey doors and 4 hits for metal doors). Swift swing speed. Cheap. A very FREEMAN tool. Can break open safes (4 hits for small safes and 5 hits for large safes). Can break open registers faster than fists. Capable of downing a unarmored player in 3 hits. Cannot block Can be blocked by many melees. Relatively small swing. Unusually high stamina usage. Takes a very long time to break open safes.

Patch history

The legacy model is from Roblox’s gear “Crowbar” which model is extracted from Half-Life 2’s WorldModel crowbar. The Crowbar's ability to open safes and doors are a little janky as you need to make sure the Crowbar physically touches what you want to open. In the Public Dev Server phase of the game, the Crowbar shared animations with the Bat. On the release of V1.3.0, the Crowbar could not open safes, rendering explosions and Lockpicks the only way. V1.3.1 has fixed this, however the Crowbar still commonly breaks in functionality and cannot open large safes, this is likely due to a ROBLOX issue. Before V1.2.0, the Crowbar oddly took only 2 slots. Due to the increase to 3 slots, it received stat buffs to compensate. Damage: 30 → 36 Price: $150 → $110 Slots: 2 → 3 Concussion time: 1s → 1.35s The Crowbar itself has never been meta for its usage as a melee, more often used for its door and safe opening abilities. It's a METAL crowbar, how does it still do only 34 damage and less limb damage than the wooden bat??? Category:Melees
