lets say....

---Hatchets: guarantee loot from breaking bushes and shrubs(Im not sure how RNG code works but I imagine something like the potion of luck)

-Thwack hammer: hatchet but with blocks and stones

--- bolted blade: hitting a monster makes battle sprites move cooldown faster

---Robo wreckers: when used on a construct it inflicts a status that when it is slayed it can spawn a friendly construct. ( I would imagine they could rip the code from the cat battle sprites heart attacks ultimate's to spawn spawn something other than defense orbs or explosions, not sure how to limit it to constructs though, or how it would scale with tiers)

-Slime slasher: Robo wrecker but with slimes

-Beast basher: Robo wrecker but with beasts.

--- Wrench wand: using the charge attack on a enemy and slaying it gives a chance to drop a attack, speed, or defense orbs ( again, recycled code from the cat battle sprits ultimate heart attack code)

ps: was going to make the thack hammer make the enemy possibly drop a rare item like a turret, recon signal flare, artillery strike, but remembered rocks exist.

pps: Thank you for for your time to read this, have a good day/night!

Weapons that increase drops from environmental props aren't a bad idea, but Tier 1 weapons are astronomically weak by the time you're halfway to Tier 3, so using them at all on enemies seems silly. You would be better off killing things faster than slowing down to use a weak weapon that will get you slightly more power up orbs or a nearly useless Mecha Knight / Jelly Cube sidekick.

Boosted drops would work well as UVs too, preferably if they were for armor, and could stack with the weapons that have inherent boosts. To that I would add a weapon or UV that boosts heart drops, a UV that boosts Token drops, and a UV that boosts Material drops for the one and only purpose of getting Book of Dark Rituals more easily. The five star Kat Claw, Eye and Hiss helms should have the latter boost inherently.
