Usage

Pros	Cons
Can hit up to 2 enemies with multi-hit enabled.	Hard to acquire. Low damage. Short range. Weak durability. Cannot be repaired.

Breaking Doors

The pickaxe handle is poor at breaking doors, dealing only 5 damage per hit, as well as the low durability and high condition lower chance means that after breaking 1 door it will likely have lost almost all of its durability. For comparison, an axe deals 35 damage, while dealing minimal damage to the axe itself.

Condition

The pickaxe handle is a short blunt weapon, therefore being influenced by the blunt skills: accuracy, guard, and maintenance. It has a maximum condition of 4 and will be damaged depending on the player's maintenance skill. The chance of losing durability is: 1 in (3 + maintenance x 2)

Distribution

The pickaxe handle can currently only be acquired through foraging, in the rare portion of the junk weapons category.
