Hate

"HATE is a scythe with a cruel blade, wielded by the Stalker."

- In-Game Description

The Hate is a heavy melee weapon, with higher charge damage than Reaper Prime and Ether Reaper, but slower attack rate. Blueprints are found by defeating the Stalker.

This weapon can be sold for 5,000.

Characteristics
This weapon does blade damage.

Advantages:
 * Damage is suited for fighting Infested.
 * Can hit multiple targets with normal and charged attacks.
 * Ancients stagger on every hit. (Even though they can hit you while recovering).
 * Causes large Area of Effect knockdown on jump attack.
 * Charged attacks swing low to the ground and allow for consistent attacks on downed enemies and rollers.
 * Has a short wind-up and a long strike animation. The Fury mod thus provides the greatest increase in charge attack speed, often allowing to forget the use of charge speed mods. It is still advised to use it if you play with charge attack a lot.

Disadvantages:
 * Shorter reach than other heavy melee weapons.
 * Jump attack has a very slow animation.
 * Requires large amounts of materials to craft.
 * Currently not immune to staggering hits while charging.
 * No Polarity slot.

Acquisition
The Hate cannot be purchased separately, but it is included in the What Stalker? bundle. Its blueprint can be dropped by the Stalker.
