A common digging tool issued to military troops, the Entrenching Tool is a collapsible shovel designed to enable soldiers to dig trenches, fighting holes, latrines, etc. In the right hands, it can also be a handy improvised weapon. Produced in mass quantities, Entrenching Tools can often be found as surplus in the civilian market and are popular with hikers, campers, and other outdoorsy types.

Parts Used

I started with the shovel mesh used by the slaves in The Pitt DLC for Fallout 3, lengthening the grip, shortening the handle, and replacing the blade with the forearm armor from the Raider Blastmaster Armor.

Usage Notes

If the Player has the Entrenching Tool in their inventory, a new activation prompt will appear, allowing them to open graves even if they do not have a proper shovel.
