A spiked pickaxe handle is an improvised short blunt weapon.

Usage

Pros	Cons
Can hit up to 2 enemies with multi-hit enabled.	Hard to acquire. Low damage. Short range. Weak durability. Cannot be repaired.

Breaking doors

The spiked pickaxe handle is poor at breaking doors, dealing only 5 damage per hit, as well as the low durability and high condition lower chance means that it is likely to break before destroying a door. For comparison, an axe deals 35 damage, while dealing minimal damage to the axe itself.

Condition

The spiked pickaxe handle has a maximum condition of 4. 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 (2 + 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	1/2 (50%)	8
0	4	1/4 (25%)	16
0	8	1/6 (17%)	24
4	0	1/6 (17%)	24
8	0	1/10 (10%)	40
4	4	1/8 (13%)	32
4	8	1/10 (10%)	40
8	8	1/14 (7%)	56
10	10	1/16 (6%)	64

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.
