This includes the following: Handmade Pickaxe, Pickaxe, Mining Pickaxe, Hydraulic Pickaxe, Vindertech Pickaxe, and all upgraded variants. Although the schematics were removed before Online Test 6.5, durability still exists internally (being 125) but is never depleted.
  • In Online Test 6.5, the Handmade Pickaxe was tied to an ability kit, "Kit_HarvestWeapon_T01", which was removed between Online Test 6.5 and Update v1.0.
