Exploitation is a passive skill for Hatchet users in New World. Exploitation belongs to the Throwing Tree, which is focused primarily on ranged damage and mobility. This Passive causes all attacks to deal 15% addtional damage to targets with an active debuff.
Active Skills for the Hatchet increase in efficiency with Strength as their Primary Attribute and Dexterity as their Secondary Attribute. Investing into either Attribute will increase the damage of your Hatchet’s basic attacks and skills, though you will see a greater bonus for investing in Strength.
