A metal pipe is a material required in various metalworking recipes.

Usage

Metalworking

Main article: Metalworking

Metal pipes are required in nearly all metalworking construction recipes.

Weapon

Metal pipes can make for decent early game weapons, as they do damage comparable to most other Short Blunt weapons, while being relatively easy to find early on. They are also capable of hitting two zombies at once if multihit is enabled. Combined with their good durability, metal pipes can be surprisingly effective at clearing small groups of zombies. Due to it be attached to the back, it can also save space on the character's belt for other weapons until a better back-attached weapon is found.

Condition

The metal pipe has a maximum condition of 8. Its rate of degradation is influenced by the short blunt and maintenance skills. The chance of losing durability can be simplified to the following formula: 1 in (15 + maintenanceMod × 2). Where "maintenanceMod" is calculated using the short blunt and maintenance skills.
Below is an example of the chance of losing durability at varying levels of the maintenance and short blunt skills.

For how this is calculated, see: Durability
Maintenance skill Weapon skill Durability lower chance
0 0 1/15 (7%)
0 4 1/17 (6%)
0 8 1/19 (5%)
4 0 1/19 (5%)
8 0 1/23 (4%)
4 4 1/21 (5%)
4 8 1/23 (4%)
8 8 1/27 (4%)
10 10 1/29 (3%)
