Shovel



The shovel is a weapon in Yandere Simulator.

Gameplay
The shovel is located outside the shed. It is seen as suspicious and cannot be concealed. If a student notices Yandere-chan holding the shovel, her reputation will drop by ten points (if the School Atmosphere is high). If the player joins the Gardening Club, they will not be seen as suspicious when carrying the shovel.

Yandere-chan cannot use the shovel when fighting a Heroic student and will automatically lose, as the weapon is too unwieldy to use in close quarters.

The shovel can be placed inside the cello case or the trash can in order to conceal it.

In the future, if a student spots the player holding the weapon while she is not part of the club, she will be called a thief, and it will be taken away from Yandere-chan. Student AI and path finding will have to be revamped before this happens.

The player may be able to dispose of corpses by digging a hole using a shovel and placing the body parts in there in the future.

Shovel Animations
In the future, there will be different shovel killing animations depending on Yandere-chan's level of sanity.
 * High Sanity: The player will step forward and hit the student in the head with the shovel.
 * Medium Sanity: Unknown so far.
 * Low Sanity: Unknown so far.
 * Stealth Kill: Unknown so far.
