A screwdriver is a one-handed, short blade weapon and a useful tool.
Usage
Weapon
In times of emergency the screwdriver can be used to quickly take out small groups of zombies, but it is unfit for hordes.
It has low durability and damage, requiring many well-placed hits to kill a single undead. However, it can perform jaw stab attacks.
The screwdriver cannot be repaired, which makes it useless once broken.
Tool
If a screwdriver, saw, and hammer are in the player's inventory, a player can dismantle player-made objects (water barrels, crates, etc) and world objects (complex furniture, metal security doors, etc). When disassembling player-made objects, some of the materials that went into making an item will be returned to the player's inventory upon successfully dismantling it. The screwdriver is also needed to change attachments on firearms (suppressors, sights, chokes, etc).
The screwdriver is also needed to disassemble electrical devices, such as radios and digital watches. It is also used to create improvised electronic devices, such as timers and triggers. It is also needed to remove headlights, taillights, and the radio from vehicles.
