Notes[edit | edit source]

The blueprint for this weapon was added on January 14, 2013.
The Scindo's base damage can be improved further by equipping the Manticore skin, which sacrifices -15% attack speed for an additional +15% damage, totalling 115 base damage and 0.779 attack speed.
When performing a normal attack, while in the middle of a swing, you are not affected by knockback, e.g. Infested Volatile Runner explosions.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

Scindo is a Latin verb, meaning to separate, divide, rend, or slice.
The Scindo was used by the Stalker as a placeholder weapon before the Hate was introduced.
If the Scindo is equipped with the Manticore skin and Spoiled Strike alone, it becomes the second slowest melee weapon in the game; second only to the Fragor.
