A plunger is an improvised short blunt weapon.

Usage

A plunger is a short blunt weapon with a low durability and damage.

Condition

The plunger has a maximum condition of 3. 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 (2 + 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.

For how this is calculated, see: Condition

Maintenance skill	Weapon skill	Condition lower chance
0	0	1/2 (50%)
0	4	1/4 (25%)
0	8	1/6 (17%)
4	0	1/6 (17%)
8	0	1/10 (10%)
4	4	1/8 (13%)
4	8	1/10 (10%)
8	8	1/14 (7%)
10	10	1/16 (6%)
