A spoon is a blade melee weapon.
Usage
If a spoon is in the player's inventory while eating certain foods, the spoon will be used to eat.
Weapon
The spoon is an emergency weapon with extremely low damage and cannot perform the instant kill jaw stab, which most one-handed blade weapons can do. It is also highly ineffective in a defensive situation, as it will never knockdown an opponent and only knock them back a very short distance.
The spoon has a very short range, making it very dangerous 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 only be equipped in an emergency, or if smashing a window.
Breaking doors
It is most 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.
