A spiked plank is a crafted weapon. It's just a plank with nails hammered into it.
Usage
Weapon
The spiked plank has a very slow attack speed, but compensates with a longer range and damage than many other weapons. Its durability is similar to the kitchen knife, and is quite fragile in comparison to more sturdily built weapons.
The spiked plank, despite its flaws, is a multi-hit weapon, hitting 2 zombies at once (if multi-hit is enabled). It also has a good chance of knocking zombies down so they can be finished off.
Breaking doors
It can cause 8 door damage per swing. For comparison, an axe does 35 damage.

Condition
The spiked plank has a maximum condition of 10. Its rate of degradation is influenced by the long 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 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 level | Long blunt level | Condition lower chance | Average condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | 1/2 (50%) | 20 |
| 0 | 4 | 1/4 (25%) | 40 |
| 0 | 8 | 1/6 (17%) | 60 |
| 4 | 0 | 1/6 (17%) | 60 |
| 8 | 0 | 1/10 (10%) | 100 |
| 4 | 4 | 1/8 (13%) | 80 |
| 4 | 8 | 1/10 (10%) | 100 |
| 8 | 8 | 1/14 (7%) | 140 |
| 10 | 10 | 1/16 (6%) | 160 |
Repairing
A spiked plank cannot be repaired.
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.

Trivia
- Strangely, the spiked plank has 0.02 increased range from a regular Plank. This may be due to the nails at the end adding a little bit more reach.
