Weapon
The wood axe can hit up to 3 enemies at a time (with multi-hit enabled), dealing a maximum of 3 damage to enemies (unless a critical hit) from up to 1.35 tiles away at an attack speed of 1.
Chopping trees
A wood axe is the best choice when chopping trees. It does 55 damage per swing. For comparison, a regular axe deals 35.
Breaking doors
A wood axe is the best choice when breaking down doors. It does 55 damage per swing. For comparison, a regular axe deals 35.
Condition
The wood axe has a maximum condition of 15. Its rate of degradation is influenced by the axe and maintenance skills. The chance of losing durability can be simplified to the following formula: 1 in (25 + maintenanceMod × 2). Where "maintenanceMod" is calculated using the axe and maintenance skills.
Below is an example of the chance of losing durability at varying levels of the maintenance and axe skills.
| Maintenance level | Axe level | Condition lower chance | Average condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | 1/25 (4%) | 375 |
| 0 | 4 | 1/27 (4%) | 405 |

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.
