A spoon is a blade melee weapon.

Usage

Eating Canned Beans with a spoon.

The spoon can used to mix pancakes. If a spoon is in the player's inventory while eating certain foods, the spoon will be used to eat. There is currently no benefit to eating with a spoon.

Weapon

The spoon is an emergency weapon with extremely low damage and cannot perform the instant kill jaw stab, unlike most one-handed blade weapons. It is also highly ineffective in a defensive situation, as it will never knockdown an opponent and has very low knockback.

The spoon has a very short range, making it difficult to use when fighting zombies, however it does have a quick attack. It is a single-attack weapon, hitting just 1 opponent with each swing. Spoons are pretty much useless in combat and should not be equipped in an emergency, unless smashing a window.

Breaking doors

It is 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 condition of the spoon is influenced by the maintenance skill. It has a maximum condition of just 3 and will be damaged depending on the player's maintenance skill. The chance of losing durability is: 1 in (1 + maintenance x 2).

Repairing

A spoon cannot be repaired.
