Base.RedPen
Base.BluePen
The pen is a writing implement and improvised weapon.
Usage
Writing
A pen can be used with journals, empty notebooks and a sheet of paper to write notes that can be left for other players on multiplayer servers. The map can be annotated with a pen, adding symbols and text in the color of the pen used (blue, black, or red).
Weapon
The pen is an improvised weapon and is not associated with a weapon skill, but attacks like a short blade, including the special execution move. Pens have a very low durability so will usually exhaust all of its durability; making it useless as a weapon. It can be used as a discardable stealth-kill weapon, as they are very common, it can be picked up, used to stealth kill a zombie then discarded. However, as the pen has a very low range, this can be dangerous.
Condition
Pens have a maximum condition of 2. Its rate of degradation is influenced by the maintenance skill. The chance of losing durability can be simplified to the following formula: 1 in (1 + maintenanceMod × 2)
. Where "maintenanceMod" is calculated using the maintenance skill.
Below is an example of the chance of losing durability at varying levels of the maintenance skill.
Maintenance skill | Durability lower chance |
---|---|
0 | 1/1 (100%) |
2 | 1/3 (33%) |
4 | 1/5 (20%) |
6 | 1/7 (14%) |
8 | 1/9 (11%) |
10 | 1/11 (9%) |
