For walls with a high armor value ([[AV]]), it may take quite a few attempted hits to penetrate with the {{name}}.

Perfect

A pickaxe is a simple, if uncommon, digging implement. It will destroy any wall after eight successful penetrations.

For walls with a high armor value (AV), it may take quite a few attempted hits to penetrate with the pickaxe. However, the player is always guaranteed to penetrate on a critical hit; as a result, with patience, even the most well-armored wall can be destroyed.

Equipping the pickaxe grants the "Dig" activated ability; this ability is a form of autoact which allows the player to select a tile as a target destination, regardless of distance or visibility. Confirming one's selection will cause the player to move in a straight line to the destination, while automatically attacking and destroying any walls in the way.

Considerations

This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary.
  • Although it will destroy walls with eight successful penetrations, it is not particularly effective compared to the nanopneumatic jackhammer or Burrowing Claws due to its poor inherent penetration.
