A pool cue is a two-handed blunt melee weapon.

Usage

Weapon

The pool cue is a multi-attack weapon, capable of hitting two zombies at a time in a swing. It is light for a long two-handed weapon, however will only deal 0.2 to 0.4 damage per swing. The pool cue has difficulty knocking a zombie to the ground and will instead knock them back slightly.

Breaking doors

It is somewhat ineffective at bashing down doors, dealing just 1 damage per hit. For comparison, an axe deals 35 damage.

Chopping trees

It cannot be used to chop trees, dealing 0 damage per hit. For comparison, an axe deals 35 damage.

Condition

The pool cue is a long blunt weapon, therefore being influenced by the blunt skills: accuracy, guard and maintenance. It has a maximum condition of 10 and will be damaged depending on the player's maintenance skill. The chance of losing durability is: 1 in (10 + maintenance x 2)

Repairing

A pool cue cannot be fixed.
