A garden fork is an improvised spear weapon.

Usage

Farming

The garden fork can be used similar to a shovel or trowel as a way of tilling grass for farming.

Weapon

The garden fork can hit up to 2 enemies at a time (with multi-hit enabled), dealing a maximum of 1.5 damage (unless a critical hit or using the spear charge) from up to 1.37 tiles away at an attack speed of 0.9.

Although it is a two-handed weapon, it can be used one-handed at the cost of reduced impact. It can be attached to the character's back for quick access and weight reduction.

Pros	Cons
Long reach, great for not getting too close to zombies. Highest durability of any spear. Spear charge ability.	Cannot be crafted.

Spear charge

Every spear has the ability to use a unique spear charge attack. To use the spear charge ability, you must sprint (Left Alt key by default), 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. It may also alert nearby zombies from your sprinting, 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 garden fork has a maximum condition of 10. 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 (10 + 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	1/10 (10%)
0	4	1/12 (8%)
0	8	1/14 (7%)
4	0	1/14 (7%)
8	0	1/18 (6%)
4	4	1/16 (6%)
4	8	1/18 (6%)
8	8	1/22 (5%)
10	10	1/24 (4%)

Repairing

A garden fork can be repaired with the following:

2 × Wood Glue and level 2 Carpentry
2 × Duct Tape
2 × Glue
4 × Adhesive Tape
