The patch notes do not name them, so they are not listed above; this page only lists weapons confirmed by name. Because the new dungeons are only generated in worlds created after the update, these rewards are not available in older worlds. The same update fixed some broken weapon abilities.65656666Tools That Double as Weapons67676868Pickaxes and Lumber Axes can hit enemies with reduced damage scaled by the matching skill. Throwing heavy resources (rocks, lumber) at enemies also deals damage and scales with the Throwing skill.
