Hand Axe

General

Usage

The hand axe can be attached to the left or right slot of a belt for quick access and weight reduction.

Pros	Cons
Fastest swing speed of any axe. Weighs less than most axes. Can be used as an effective tool for chopping down trees and breaking down doors. Not too difficult to find.	Shortest range of any axe. Deals less damage than most axes. Not as durable as most axes. Tied with the stone axe for lowest critical hit chance of any axe.

Weapon

The hand axe can hit up to 2 enemies at a time (with multi-hit enabled), dealing a maximum of 1.5 damage to enemies (unless a critical hit) from up to 1.1 tiles away at an attack speed of 1.

Chopping trees

A hand axe is a decent choice when chopping trees and collecting logs to turn into planks using a saw. It does 15 damage per swing. For comparison, a regular axe deals 35.

Breaking doors

A hand axe is a decent choice when breaking down doors. It does 20 damage per swing. For comparison, a regular axe deals 35.

Condition

The hand axe has a maximum condition of 10. Its rate of degradation is influenced by the long 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 long blunt and maintenance skills.
Below is an example of the chance of losing durability at varying levels of the maintenance and long blunt skills.

*For how this is calculated, see: Condition*
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%)

Repairing

Item repaired	1st Repair materials = 50% repaired, 100% success	20% repaired, 95% success	10% repaired, 95% success	10% repaired, 95% success
Hand Axe	Wood Glue (2 Uses) (Requires Carpentry Level 2)	Duct Tape (2 Uses)	Glue (2 Uses)	Adhesive Tape (4 Uses)

It should be noted that repairing the hand axe makes following repairs less likely to succeed and can, if repaired numerous times, cause reduced durability instead of increased.

Distribution

The best method of finding a hand axe is looting places like hardware stores and industrial locations such as warehouses, factories and storage units. It can also sometimes be found in garages.
Hand axes can also be found inside of barricaded buildings and carpenter's houses.
Occasionally, some zombies can be found with hand axes stuck to them.
