Rusty Scalpel

Rusty Scalpel is a melee weapon in Pathologic 2 that can also be used during autopsy. It is the lowest quality surgical tool available to the Haruspex. It can be looted from containers, sold to all stores, and traded to Dandy in the Soul-and-a-Half Fortress.

Bad Grief gives one to the Haruspex on Day 1 if he agrees to perform an operation on one of his men. Another one can be found in Rubin's Flat.


 * The following equation calculates for damage dealt: Base damage + √(Durability) × Additional damage. If the Rusty Scalpel's durability is entirely depleted, then its Dull damage is dealt instead. Durability is reduced prior to damage being calculated.


 * The Rusty Scalpel has a LinesVision stat of 0 and Quality stat of 10.
 * Autopsy chance of success is constant, and does not scale with durability.
