The Wrench is one of two melee weapons in Ravenfield so far. It was featured in Beta 5.

Combat & Usage
The Wrench can be used for bashing enemies or repairing vehicles. It takes about only one hit to kill an enemy with a wrench if they have full health, but the first hit will always knock them down for an easy second hit to finish the job.

The wrench can provide good benefits by repairing vehicles. It takes around 2 to 3 hits to repair one vehicle health bar, so about twenty whacks to repair a Tank. The wrench hits almost two times every second, also allowing many kills with its high damage.

The wrench is a good backup in case of lack of bullets, but requires the player to be close up.

Overall, the wrench is a decent tool, and it is very fun to charge around knocking soldier around.

Weaknesses
The main issue, as always, is range. The wrench has a very short range and will mostly get the player killed by a gun. The repairing may also expose the player to enemy fire. If the player looks all the way down and hits, the player kills themselves.

Trivia

 * The Wrench is based off of a real life Monkey Wrench.
 * There's a secret Golden Wrench that can launch anything it hits at long distances and turn it into gold. But it deals a small amount of damage to everything and can't be used for repairs. This only exists in Beta 5. The name is actually Super Wrench.
 * Sometimes, the wrench launches the vehicle it is repairing. This might be a bug.
 * Not the case in newer versions. Patched.
 * The wrench used to take 2 or 3 hits to kill a soldier, with no real reason why it sometimes takes one extra hit, but this has been since fixed.
 * On Beta 5, if the player is sitting in a vehicle as a passenger and has access to their inventory weapons, using the wrench when pointing it upwards will damage the player and knock them off the vehicle.
 * Before the game physics were updated, it's possible to kill allied soldiers in an open-cab vehicle when seated as a passenger in the vehicle. This effectively makes on-board repair impossible without killing a bot.
 * The Wrench is the only melee weapon capable of affecting vehicles - It will heal them.
