If you played through the Resident Evil 7 demo, you most likely saw the Axe item, which seemed like a teaser for a usable weapon in Resident Evil 7: Biohazard.
You do get to use the Axe for a short while in RE7 however. In the prologue of the game, you’ll be confronted with a possessed Mia, and the game will grant you an Axe to help take her down.
A little further into the mission however when the Bakers catch you, you wake up with nothing in your inventory, which means the Axe is gone as well.
Unfortunately, the Axe does not return in the game either, so you have a very short stint with the weapon. If you’d like to dice up zombies with an array of melee weapons, you’ll probably have to get your hands on a copy of Dead Rising 4, which we just so happen to have a bunch of articles for as well!
