Skirt

This page has been revised for the current stable version (41.78.16).

Help by adding any missing content. [edit]

The skirt is an article of clothing equipped on the legs.

Usage

It is primarily used to protect the player from getting cold, typically during the winter months. The player may also find themselves getting too hot when wearing a skirt. However, the skirt has a lower insulation than pants. Thus, making a skirt a greater balance between getting too hot and cold.

A skirt can be equipped regardless of the gender.

Cleaning

Over the course of the zombie apocalypse, clothing will become dirty and bloody, which is dependent on the player's activities. If the player is wearing dirty or bloody clothing over an open wound, the chance of infection will increase. However, the skirt can be cleaned with soap and water.

Durability

Clothing can deteriorate, reducing its insulation and protection. It can be repaired by stitching patches, which may also improve its protection and insulation depending on the material used.

Crafting

Clothing can be torn into ripped sheets, which is a makeshift bandage, an essential first aid tool. Clothing can also be turned into sheet ropes, which can be used to rappel down from (and also up, as long as the player doesn't have the weak trait) a window.

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.

Prior to build 41 it was only displayed on female characters, as a male would appear to be wearing pants instead.
