A pool cue is a two-handed blunt melee weapon.
Usage
Weapon
The pool cue is a multi-attack weapon, capable of hitting two zombies at a time in a swing. It is light for a long two-handed weapon, however will only deal 0.2 to 0.4 damage per swing.
The pool cue has difficulty knocking a zombie to the ground and will instead knock them back slightly.
Breaking doors
It is somewhat 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 pool cue has a maximum condition of 10. Its rate of degradation is influenced by the long blunt and maintenance skills. The chance of losing condition can be simplified to the following formula: 1 in (10 + maintenanceMod × 2). Where "maintenanceMod" is calculated using the long blunt and maintenance skills.
Below is an example of the chance of losing durability at varying levels of the maintenance and long blunt skills.
| Maintenance skill | Long blunt level | Condition lower chance | Average condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | 1/10 (10%) | 100 |
| 0 | 4 | 1/12 (8%) | 120 |
| 0 | 8 | 1/14 (7%) | 140 |
| 4 | 0 | 1/14 (7%) | 140 |
| 8 | 0 | 1/18 (6%) | 180 |
| 4 | 4 | 1/16 (6%) | 160 |
| 4 | 8 | 1/18 (6%) | 180 |
| 8 | 8 | 1/22 (5%) | 220 |
| 10 | 10 | 1/24 (4%) | 240 |
Repairing
A pool cue cannot be fixed.
Location
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.
