Trivia

  • In earlier stages of the development of The Baguette Update, this weapon was named Scavenger, which was a direct translation of the original French name for this weapon, Charognarde.
    • The mistranslation is still present on the steam trade card.
  • In the front cover image of physical copies of the game, a Frantic Sword can be seen in the hand of the Beheaded.
