A wooden spear is a tool that is crafted by a player and cannot be randomly found in containers.

Usage

The spear has relatively high damage and reach for its availability, however it suffers from a low maximum Condition and takes damage at an exceedingly high rate until Maintenance is leveled. At level 0 Maintenance, it has a 50% chance of lowering its condition each attack. The chance of losing durability is: 1 in (1 + maintenance x 2)

Crafting

A wooden spear is created by sharpening a tree branch or a plank with a kitchen knife, hunting knife, chipped stone, stone knife, meat cleaver, or machete.

Attachments

A spear may have many different attachments, each can be applied with two units of duct tape. The following items can be attached:

• Bread Knife
• Butter Knife
• Fork
• Letter Opener
• Scalpel
• Spoon
• Scissors
• Hand Fork
• Screwdriver
• Kitchen Knife
• Hunting Knife
• Machete

Distribution

Any spear may be randomly generated inside a zombie's stomach after having survived for 30 days. Approximately 0.16% of zombies will have a Spear or Spear with attachments on them.
