The Machete is a tool in Just Cause (1).

Description

A machete (link to wikipedia) is a sword-like jungle cutting tool for passing through extremely dense jungles. Real machetes can be anywhere between about 30 and 45 cm long, with a few rare ones up to 110 cm. In the game, the machete is about 80 cm long.

Performance

The Machete is never seen in action and is not obtainable by the player, so its performance remains unknown.

Location

Some angry Civilians at the Hidden temple at Isla Maria Dolorosa are holding machetes and frequently waving them in the air while making verbal death threats at the player. This indicates that they threaten to use their machetes as a potentially very powerful melee weapon.

The civilians run from the player and stay far away from Rico.

Trivia

• Later games in the series also have similarly unique weapons, but those are mostly Easter Eggs and can actually be used by the player. This is still a completely unique weapon, because Rico cannot pick it up and it's a melee weapon.
  • Happy Bubble Blaster - Similarly unique weapon in Just Cause 2. This weapons is a Bubble Gun that deals no damage, but has all other properties of a firearm.
  • DK Pistol - Similarly unique weapon in Just Cause 3. It has infinite ammunition and inflates the heads of anyone they hit, but can't deal damage.
  • Kousavá - Similarly unique weapon in Just Cause 3. It resembles the U-39 Plechovka with stylistic changes to resemble a Scorpion, but fires explosive rounds instead and has a lower ammo capacity. This is a fan-designed weapon that is also DLC.
  • Cow Gun - Similarly unique weapon in Just Cause 4. It has infinite ammunition and deals no damage, but instead turns people into cows and cows into Sebastiano Di Ravello.
  • The Dragon - Similarly unique weapon in Just Cause 4. It is a rocket launcher that deploys pyrotechnics. This is a fan-designed weapon that is also DLC.
  • Tendrilizer - Similarly unique weapon in Just Cause 4. It deploys a tentacle with a possessed Warchief Assault Tank to attack everything else nearby. It is added in the Los Demonios DLC.

A higher resolution is very difficult to obtain, because the machete is not that well visible when they are running.
