Greataxes | Baldurs Gate 3 Wiki

Greataxes in Baldur's Gate 3 are pieces of equipment that are used to inflict damage against hostile characters such as Enemies and Bosses. Greataxes are Two-Handed Martial Weapons in BG3 that can only be two-handed, dealing 1-12 Damage without enchantments. They have a range of 1.5m, and they deal Slashing Damage, though some special Greataxes also deal another type of Damage as well. The exception to this is the Cultist Brand, which deals 1-8 Bludgeoning Damage instead.

Many Greataxes have unique properties, so you should read carefully what these do, and many also have Weapon Actions that can only be used if you are Proficient with Greataxes in BG3. These Weapon Actions are Cleave, Lacerate, and Prepare.
