The excavator is a heavy but powerful weapon in Willamette Parkview Mall. It is found in Crislip's Home Saloon and one is found on one of the scaffoldings in the North Plaza, outside the store. When activated, Frank will thrust it forward, impaling any zombie on the drill and spinning it wildly. Over time, the force of the spinning will forcibly remove appendages of the zombie until only the torso remains. It can be used to go through crowds of zombies very easily with use of its second attack. Its durability is increased with the Engineering book, and it can be thrown by holding and pressing .
