Flute

General

Weapon

The flute can attack up to 2 enemies at a time dealing a maximum of 0.2 damage to enemies (unless a critical hit) from up to 0.9 tiles away at an attack speed of 1.3.

The flute has a maximum condition of 1. 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 (1 + 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 level	Short blunt level	Condition lower chance	Average condition
0	0	1/1 (100%)	1
0	4	1/3 (33%)	3
0	8	1/5 (20%)	5
4	0	1/5 (20%)	5
8	0	1/9 (11%)	9
4	4	1/7 (14%)	7
4	8	1/9 (11%)	9
8	8	1/13 (8%)	13
10	10	1/15 (7%)	15

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

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.
