A wooden mallet is a short blunt melee weapon.

Usage

It currently can't be used as a crafting tool, such as Hammer, Stone Hammer or Ball-peen Hammer, and is only used as a weapon.

Weapon

A wooden mallet is a short blunt weapon with high durability and moderate damage. Compared to many short blunt alternatives, a wooden mallet is considered a good secondary weapon.

Condition

The wooden mallet has a maximum condition of 8. 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 (20 + 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	1/20 (5%)
0	4	1/22 (5%)
0	8	1/24 (4%)
4	0	1/24 (4%)
8	0	1/28 (4%)
4	4	1/26 (4%)
4	8	1/28 (4%)
8	8	1/32 (3%)
10	10	1/34 (3%)

Distribution

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

WoodenMallet 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.
