- “When you see your victim and you have no weapons, you have to become a bit inventive. With a quick thinking and a steady hand, a PIECE OF GLASS becomes a deadly weapon that can pierce your victim's jugular. THESE are the original that were used in many of Starkweather's features. - $34”
The Glass Shard is a green class weapon available in Manhunt and Manhunt 2.
Description[]
Manhunt[]
The Glass Shard is the only weapon that players can create by themselves through the resources in the scene. If a glass window, door, or pane is broken, it drops a Glass Shard where the glass once was for the player to use.
Apart from melee combat and executions, the Glass Shard shares the same ‘key’ function as the Knife and Machete, allowing the players to cut open ropes that secure certain gates preventing the player from advancing beyond them, as well as certain ropes in the scene Strapped for Cash.
Deliverance variant[]
In Deliverance, a Glass Shard variant (simply named Shard) can be found twice in Starkweather's Estate's attic and can be used to battle Piggsy.
It shares this same model as this common Glass Shard; however, it has its own HUD icon and execution animations, designed only for the battle with Piggsy. It cannot be used to execute any other hunters. The Shard shares execution animations with the Wooden Spike, which is also an exclusive weapon for this scene.
Manhunt 2[]
The Glass Shard returns in Manhunt 2 as a disposable weapon, not just in brutal executions, but also in melee combat. Swinging this glass shiv against a hunter or any surface around a number of three to five times will destroy it.
Unlike the original Glass Shard, this Shard in Manhunt 2 is long enough to be swung around a corner while pressing against cover, an ability that was exclusive to certain Blue and Red melee weapons in the first game. Performing this against an incoming hunter will knock them down to the floor for 5 seconds before they recover. While downed, the player can beat them down. If the hits done to them while downed aren't lethal, then they will simply stand up uninterrupted even if the player is in the middle of hitting them. The player can execute the hunter in the brief interval after they recover and stand up, but only from a certain distance.
Executions[]
Note: The Glass Shard shares execution animations with the Knife.

Manhunt[]
| Type | Execution | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Hasty | The player simply jams the shard into the target's jugular, causing the target to futilely reach for the wound before dying. | |
| Violent | The player grabs the target's shoulder from behind and turns them around to face him, allowing him to stab them in the chest, making them cringe. The player holds them in a headlock as he stabs their chest thrice, killing them. | |
| Gruesome | The player stabs the target's flank from behind, causing them to turn to their attacker. The player grabs the target to stab them in both eyes, killing them. | |
| Gruesome (versus Piggsy) | The player whirls the shard in the air and catches it, wielding it with a reverse grip. He then stabs Piggsy in the back, causing the beast to squeal in pain. As the player tries to tear out their shard, Piggsy backhands the player behind him and runs off like an injured animal, leaving the player stunned on their knees. The player stands after a short moment, gripping and shaking his head from the pain before fully recovering from the attack. |
Manhunt 2[]
| Type | Execution | Description |  |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hasty | The player jumps onto the target and hitches himself on their back. From there, the player stabs their abdomen with the shard thrice. As the player falls backwards and lets the target go, the shard is pulled upwards to their chest before the player shoves their body away. |  
| |
| Violent | The player reaches around the target's neck from behind with a quick slice that slits their throat. As the choking target looks back, their front is exposed to the player who stabs their chest four times, killing them and disposing the shard. | 
| |
| Gruesome | The player stabs the target's crotch from behind and slices upwards, causing the target to fall to their knees. The player then pulls their head back and stabs them in the eye, twisting the lodged shard around before slitting their throat. | 
| |
| Jump | Same animation as the razor blade. The player jumps from an elevated position and slashes the target's back as they fall, causing them to fall to their knees. The player then cuts their face four times before slitting their throat. |
