The Darkness is a melee weapon for the Annihilator. It is a reskin of The Black Death that takes on the appearance of an all-black sword with a team-colored wrapped handle, pointed guard and hilt, and a spear-like tip.
The Darkness has a 1 in 60 chance of dropping to a player's inventory in any given round, but if the user scored more than 10 points they will instead have a 1 in 30 chance to get a drop.
Killing a player with this weapon will turn the victim's limbs translucent black and cause each of them to fly in a random direction.

Tips[]
This content is transcluded from Black Death § Tips
- It works best with hit and run tactics, and picking off enemy players to rack up souls with low risk.
- Even once you collect 3 souls, you shouldn't run into the enemy team, unless you have a Doctor healing you.
- Focus your first few kills on lighter classes before going against heavier classes.
- You are much better at tracking down and finding Agents before they can do any damage to your team, than your team, in many ways. Being able to run faster than Agent once you have souls, and your melee's increased range helps in tracking down cloaked Agents, plus their Knife deals less base damage than any of your melee weapons.
- This weapon is best used with a shield, allowing you to charge, thus dealing more damage if you can shield bash enemies and follow up with two quick melee swings.
- While this weapon can be used in a standard Annihilator loadout, it's not recommended due to requiring 2 kills with the Black Death in order to get any benefits, which can be very difficult when you don't have a shield or Squire Boots.
