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%)

Distribution

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

Plunger 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.

Building/Room	Container	Effective chance
bathroom	counter	23.28%

-Considering it's low weight, even though the Plunger does not deal a high amount of damage, it actually deals a completely decent amount in relation to the endurance it costs to swing it. Of course the damage per second potential of this weapon is very limited and with a 5% crit chance, critting is very unlikeable with the plunger.

-The main thing holding the plunger back though is it's very low durability.
