How to complete the Butcher’s challenge

The basic objective you have to complete in order to ace this challenge is, apparently, simple. Just play on a single map in the game by using only the “delicious leg” weapon. You’ll also have to get 50 kills, and you are not allowed to use any guns or grenades. If that isn’t enough, you will also have to beat that map.

So it might sound not that difficult, to survive a map and get 50 kills by using only your “delicious leg” weapon. But no, unfortunately, this is quite a tough challenge since the leg meat is little more than a fake weapon, or a meme one if you will. So what can you do to bring home this challenge successfully?

How to survive the Butcher’s Method challenge

The delicious leg is a melee weapon that does not even have a lot of range. This means that in order to get any kills, you’ll have to get close to your enemies and keep attacking. As this weapon does quite low damage compared to the axe or the sabre, you will need to swing your meat at least 5 or 6 times in order to kill an enemy. At least, the leg is quite faster in its swings than the other melee weapons in Guts & Blackpowder.

We would recommend targeting zombies with your “delicious leg” weapon, as they are slower than most enemies and usually attack in waves of 2-3 so you should have an easier time dealing with them. But they are also quite deadly and can easily bite you, so you will have to keep your distance which is easier said than done when you are only allowed to use a melee weapon.

Also, that doesn’t mean they will go down that easy, as they will still require several meat swings. Even a sapper will require several hits, but you can at least take out a bomber without dying. Still, make no mistake, this is one of the toughest challenges in the game, so you will need a lot of practice and a good amount of patience to pull this off.

How to unlock the delicious leg in Guts and Blackpowder

This secret weapon used to be only unlockable through ad🐼min commands, but now the player can get one, too, if they reach one of several conditions on a map. These conditions are:

  • Killing 200 zombies in Objective mode without dying.
  • Healing with 5 teammates without taking damage.
  • Using the crucifix 7 times without taking damage.

You will need to do this on a public server, and we would recommend using the Leipzig map. Killing 200 zombie🌞s is quite long and tedious, but if you prefer that method, you can definitelyꩲ try it out with an appropriate class like infantry. Another good trick is to play as the chaplain, starting with the crucifix you can use the required amount of times as fast as possible, while not taking any damage. Otherwise, you can use the Surgeon class and heal five teammates, then escape the map without taking any damage.

If you have met one of the conditions but can’t find the weapon in your inventory, try looking at the shop to see if the delicious leg is now for sale.
