An umbrella is a functionable item and an improvised weapon.

Usage

Staying dry

An umbrella can be equipped by the player to keep dry when it's raining. This has become incredibly useful post build 40, with the additional weather effects on the player, increasing the importance of staying dry, especially on windy days.

Weapon

The umbrella can hit only 1 enemy at a time (even with multi-hit enabled), dealing a maximum of 0.7 damage (unless a critical hit or using the spear charge) from up to 1.1 tiles away at an attack speed of 0.9.

Spear charge

The umbrella is considered an improvised spear. All spears have the ability to use a unique spear charge attack. The spear charge ability can be used by sprinting (Left Alt key by default), then after a few seconds of sprinting, the character will begin a spear charge and any zombie on the receiving end of the charge will be killed in one blow. Spear charges are best used against lone zombies due to the character being vulnerable during the kill animation. The noise from sprinting may also alert nearby zombies, and it is more difficult for the character to turn while sprinting. The character will fall over if they sprint into a wall.

Condition

The umbrella has a maximum condition of 7. Its rate of degradation is influenced by the spear and maintenance skills. The chance of losing durability can be simplified to the following formula: 1 in (3 + maintenanceMod × 2). Where "maintenanceMod" is calculated using the spear and maintenance skills.
Below is an example of the chance of losing durability at varying levels of the maintenance and spear skills.

For how this is calculated, see: Condition

Maintenance skill	Weapon skill	Condition lower chance
0	0	1/3 (33%)
0	4	1/5 (20%)
0	8	1/7 (14%)
4	0	1/7 (14%)
8	0	1/11 (9%)
4	4	1/9 (11%)
4	8	1/11 (9%)
8	8	1/15 (7%)
10	10	1/17 (6%)

Distribution

The loot distributions can be found in the table(s) below.

ClosedUmbrellaBlack distribution Show / Hide

Effective chance calculations are based off of default loot settings, and median zombie density. The higher the density of zombies in an area, the higher the effective chance of an item spawning. Chance is also influenced by the lucky and unlucky traits.

Containers

Building/Room	Container	Effective chance
all	wardrobe	2.1%
bedroom	wardrobe	2.1%
closet	metal_shelves	2.1%
livingroom	wardrobe	2.1%

Buildings

Umbrellas can rarely be found in wardrobes and changing room lockers.

Vehicles

Umbrellas are commonly found in the trunk of vehicles.

Trivia

• Currently, the closed variants uniformly use a red open umbrella item icon.
• This item used to have a different icon before build 41: .
