Tactical Shovel item
Tactical Shovel is an unlockable active item in Martha of Bethany, a mod for The Binding of Isaac.
Description
Isaac raises the shovel above his head. Pressing a fire key will swing the shovel in the chosen direction.
Swinging the shovel deals DamageStat × 4 damage to enemies (cannot be less than 10), while digging a hole on the ground and throwing rocks in the chosen direction. The rocks deal 3 + CurrentFloor + 0~2 damage.
The shovel can destroy most obstacles along with spikes and spider webs.
Digging a hole on a tile with decoration on it has a 50% chance of digging up a random pickup.
Attempting to dig against a wall with a room behind it makes a different sound.
This item only appears with the Revelations mod enabled.
How to unlock?
Defeat Narcissus II as 
Tainted Martha.
