Version history

Version	Changes
3.11.0	We've reviewed all Two-Handed weapon basetypes and have adjusted their attack damage, speed and implicits, with the goal of giving Two-Handed weapon builds a different feel to their dual-wield and one-handed counterparts, and to ensure that the damage you gain by using a Two-Hander made up for the lack of block and slower attack speed. All Two-Handed weapons have had their base damage increased by at least 15%, with axes in particular gaining even more damage (Not in patch note) Damage increased to 55-128. (up from 47-109)
2.6.0	Implicit mod changed to +400 to accuracy rating (previously 18% increased Accuracy Rating). Attack speed increased to 1.3 attacks per second (up from 1.2). Damage reduced to 47-109 (down from 52-122).
Before 0.10.0	Introduced to the game.
