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 has a maximum condition of 4. Its rate of degradation is influenced by the short 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 short blunt and maintenance skills.
Below is an example of the chance of losing durability at varying levels of the maintenance and short blunt skills.
Maintenance skill | Weapon skill | Durability 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%) |
Distribution
The pickaxe handle can currently only be acquired through foraging, in the rare portion of the junk weapons category.
