Base.Keytar

A keytar is a long blunt melee weapon.

Usage

Weapon

The keytar can attack up to 2 enemies at a time dealing a maximum of 0.7 damage to enemies (unless a critical hit) from up to 1.25 tiles away at an attack speed of 1.2.

Breaking doors

It can be used to bash down doors, but it is ineffective, dealing only 3 damage per hit.

Chopping trees

It is not very effective at chopping down trees, dealing 10 damage per hit. Note: Even if you wanted to chop down trees with a keytar, you'll likely going to break it even with max skills relating with it (From my testing its 6 hits to one tree being chopped Including some crazy 32 hits which chopped two trees down. The average is 15)

Condition

The keytar has a maximum condition of 2. 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 (3 + 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 maintenance and long blunt levels.

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%)

Repairing

The keytar cannot be repaired.

Distribution

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

Keytar 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.
