sorry what?

I think OP wants to make a very specific thing happen in his game but is disguising it as a general question so it doesnt look like he's just asking for help

Not really, I suppose I didn't phrase it well but the idea was making weapons out of tools I guess.

It's not like it hasn't bee done before; flails used for threshing wheat turning into, well, flails. Scythes with their original blades replaced by straighter ones for use in combat that sort of thing only using future shit

Yeah, shit like this, although I do find the arrange of the blades weird. Do they turn so they are horizontal in relation to the pole like some kind of laser rake?

>not using lasers to rake his leaves

How else are you going to rake the leaves that fal off your cyber-trees?

A plasma leaf-blower, clearly.

In game the "blades" change direction depending on what kind of swing you're making so they always hit at a flat angle.

Depends, chances are the situations are going to be similar to Dead Space.

Groups forced to try and create weapons out of whatever they got handy. People who are in a non-combat role who need to repurpose their tools for combat.

Good work!
Now do it in reverse.

>>48838858
Forced to use weapons as tools? That doesn't sound like a good idea.

Depends on the weapons. And not necessarily forced, it just turns out you can create hyperefficient maglev trains using the superconductors you made for the railgun,

Weapons, like any other tool, only are created or evolve to be a solution to a problem. The only setting I could come up with on the spot in which tools for deconstructing machines or large metal things are used as weapons is on in which the things you fight are large metal things like machines. Maybe something like a giant bug could also work, with its extra dense chitin.
