A Sub-Trope of Improvised Weapon and closely related to Shovel Strike, pickaxes are tools used to break up rocks and earth but like most handheld objects can easily be appropriated as a weapon. Like the sledgehammer, which is highly similar in use, most pickaxes are far too heavy to wield effectively against an armed or skilled opponent. On the other hand, its large size and shape make it highly intimidating, and against slow moving enemies like zombies its power and ease of use make it a brutal skull-smashing machine. (That is, unless the spike gets stuck). While usually not as sharp as a conventional melee weapon, the narrow spike and heavy head of the pick make it effective against armor. Because of their original purpose, they're also exceptionally sturdy and not as likely to break as other improvised weapons. Ice axes, used as a climbing aid in icy regions, are also covered by this trope. Though smaller than mining picks, their blades will tend to have a sharper edge and the weapon will be easier to both control and conceal. This trope can also cover Ice Picks, while they are definitely much different from pickaxes and have minor similarities with ice axes. They are still picks and are quite deadly because of their availability and ability to puncture through skin & flesh rather easily if you aren't careful. The use of pickaxes as weapons in ancient warfare is actually true. Their shape also influenced some warhammers and traditional axes to have a big spike on one side of their heads for punching through armor (and, on occasion, ribcages, heads and other things). |

In Made in Abyss Lyza wields a huge pick named Blaze Reapnote Though despite the dark connotations, she's basically the nicest among all the White Whistles. as a weapon of choice, which she later passes to her daughter Rico. It's a Class 1 Abyss Artifact (which she was entitled as a White Whistle), designated as an Everlasting Pick, and it allowed her incredible feats of destruction while she was still active as a Cave Raider. | |

Mount & Blade has a pickaxe, a fighting pick, and a military pick in increasing order of power as short-range one-handed weapons. They may not look so impressive at first, but they're fast, have an unnerving tendency to go right through heavy armor, and will still make a mess of lightly armored enemies besides. They are also surprisingly handy in close fighting and sieges for those same reasons, trading reach for superior armor penetration. | |

Dark Souls: Pickaxes can be looted as rare drops from Boulder Giants to use as weapons, it does moderate damage and is difficult to use, however it does decent poise damage akin to straight swords. In Dark Souls II by comparison the pickaxe is a ridiculously well-hidden weapon that is incredibly hard to find. Unfortunately, changes to its moveset and nerfs to its stats that make it much harder to use mean that it's also one of the worst weapons in the game. For some reason it was also reclassified from a Hammer weapon to a Great Hammer.

In the third mission of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (and also the first mission with Task Force 141), has Roach and Soap make use of ice picks, naturally they are also weaponized when needed be. You even get to see MacTavish use them to dismount an enemy off of a snowmobile, no less. In Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered, it is actually possible to use the ice picks to take down the first two enemies in the aforementioned mission. Where Roach is given a special animation where he takes down both guards simultaneously with the ice picks. Not only that if you have the "Green Beret" Intel Cheat enabled, Roach will be able to use the Ice Pick as a melee weapon for the whole mission which replaces the standard knife. Alongside that there's also the "Cliffhanger" ice axe weapon added in the December 13, 2016‎ update for Modern Warfare Remastered. |

The Pickaxe of Despair is by far the most damaging-per-swing weapon you can find in Silent Hill 4: The Room, and its Charged Attack is a 720 degree Spin Attack that will kick anything close to you away by a good 7 feet. The drawback is that the thing is so slow that you'll often get hurt while trying to use it, taking around 4 seconds for a single attack and over 20 to charge a spin. Interestingly, with it, your stomp attack is replaced by Henry thrusting the shovel against the enemy when it's down. | |

In Dungeons & Dragons, picks are popular weapons among those of the dwarven or gnomish persuasion, an outgrowth of their traditional profession of mining. In 3rd Edition, they are known for low damage but very powerful Critical Hits (comparable to a scythe). Ironically, picks' low damage means they're unable to damage stone without extraordinary strength, making them useless to use as actual picks. One would assume that they ignore the hardness of stone, like axes do with wood, but it's never specifically stated. In 5th edition, they're given a damage boost but like other weapons no longer have any special properties on a critical hit. Gnomes even had a special pick weapon of their own in 3rd Edition: the Gnomish Hook Hammer. It was a Double Weapon that consisted of a pick on one side and a warhammer on the other. However, due to gnomes' small size reducing the damage dice of their weapons combined with their racial penalty to Strength, it was pretty much never seen in actual gameplay. |

Dwarf Fortress: picks deal piercing damage, which is one of the best ways to damage internal organs (and thus, potentially kill a victim in a single blow depending on where you hit.) They also use the Mining skill in combat, unlike the axe. Convincing your militia to use them in battle is a bit trickier than it used to be, but they still make a pretty good Emergency Weapon. | |

RuneScape: partially averted; pickaxes can be wielded as a weapon, but they are less effective than weapons made of the same metal. That being said, players frequently wield their pickaxes while mining, rather than simply wield another weapon, because it saves an inventory space that could be used to carry more ore. Also, some bosses have armor that needs to be broken with a pickaxe before you can actually start hacking away at its HP with another weapon (though you can still use the pickaxe if you wish). | |

The Elder Scrolls: The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind has mining picks that can be equipped as weapons, but they're pretty useless in combat. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim includes picks, which are required to mine ore. They can make a decent weapon if enchanted. Two unique versions can be found: the Notched Pickaxe, which raises the Dragonborn's Smithing skill when equipped and deals minor shock damage to enemies, and Hoarfrost, which deals frost damage and has a chance to freeze enemies solid. |

The Grave Robber from Darkest Dungeon usually prefers throwing knives and darts for weaponry but carries a pickaxe as well. Presumably it's for breaking into mausoleums and the like, but it's just as effective at smacking the local Eldritch Abominations very hard in the face. The pickaxe attack skill has the bonus of ignoring enemy PROT, making it very useful against armored opponents. | |

The Soldier class in Team Fortress 2 has two picks as unlockable melee weapons. The Equalizer turns him into the ultimate Glass Cannon by raising in damage output based on how low his health level is. At 1 hit point, he can hit for 113 points of damage. The Escape Plan increases the Soldier's running speed the less health he has, and marks him for death. At one hit point, he can run almost as fast as the scout. |

In GURPS, picks are very powerful because they have high basic damage and a high damage multiplier. Their major limitation is that they can get stuck in a target, but even then they automatically do damage when you pull them out. They're also unbalanced weapons, so they can't be used to attack and parry on the same round. | |

In the Tomb Raider reboot, Lara can use her pick as a weapon after levelling up to a certain point. It's available as a weapon in the Crossover DLC pack for Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. While its raw stats are outclassed by later weapons, the Survivor's Axe has two passives that raise Lightning's attack power if her HP is low enough. |

In Castlevania: Curse of Darkness, the Zaghnol is the best one-handed axe, taking the appearance of a highly-ornated pick with a bird motif. Also surprisingly easy to made, making it overall Boring, but Practical. | |

Many of the people executed in Pol Pot's killing fields were killed with pickaxes, rather than having a bullet wasted on them. | |
