Sickles

Description
The basic melee weapon. There are many aspects of this dual-handed weapon:
 * The Sickles are melee weapons the player starts with in Dusk. When playing in the Intruder Mode, these are the only weapon with which the player starts any given level.
 * They are a pair of rusted tools the Duskdude presumably picked up while in the basement of E1M1.
 * The Sickles have a quick swing speed, which makes up for their low damage.
 * The Sickles allow for unlimited use and are typically used to preserve ammo.


 * The Sickles can also be used to deflect projectiles back at enemies with a well-timed swing.
 * The easiest way to activate the Sickles is by clicking the middle mouse button. This activates a message saying "Mighty Sickles Activated".
 * The Sickles are the iconic weapon of Dusk, appearing in the main title screen.

Trivia

 * Dave Oshry proposed the weapon idea.
