The Shard Blade[1] is a weapon found exclusively in Release, used by rioting inmates. Its function is very similar to that of the Butterfly Knife weapon: it is very quick and efficient at taking out enemies in close quarter combat. Its execution animation also mirrors the knife's one. However, it cannot kill enemies if thrown.
The shard blade is fragile and will break after it is thrown away, regardless of where it lands. It will also break if a door passes over it.
Statistics[]
