Fitness

For main article, see Exercise

While the player has a dumbbell in their inventory, they can perform two new exercises, the dumbbell press and the bicep curl. Both of these focus on the arms and are 80% more efficient as an arm exercise than their weightless counterpart, pushups.

Condition

The dumbbell has a maximum condition of 10. Its rate of degradation is influenced by the short blunt and maintenance skills. The chance of losing condition can be simplified to the following formula: 1 in (25 + 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	Short blunt level	Condition lower chance	Average condition
0	0	1/25 (4%)	250
0	4	1/27 (4%)	270
0	8	1/29 (3%)	290
4	0	1/29 (3%)	290
8	0	1/33 (3%)	330
4	4	1/31 (3%)	310
4	8	1/33 (3%)	330
8	8	1/37 (3%)	370

Effective chance calculations are based off of default 'apocalypse' loot settings, with no luck modifier, and average 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. Duplicate entries do exist, but have been removed for clarity.
