The Antique Table Leg is a piece of broken furniture that works as an improvised two-handed weapon. It trains the Long Blunt skill. It hits softly, breaks quickly and has a short reach, so it is a stopgap more than a real weapon.
Its main worth is as a base for crafted upgrades. Five Nails turn it into the Antique Table Leg with Nails, and a Circular Sawblade turns it into the Antique Table Leg with Sawblade. The plain leg is found only in survivor safehouses and survivor caches.
Combat
The Antique Table Leg swings at base speed and reaches only 1 tile. Each hit deals between 0.5 and 0.9 damage, so an ordinary zombie takes several swings to drop. The crit chance starts at 10 percent, and a crit doubles the damage.
The leg is two-handed, so both hands stay on it while it is equipped. The short reach lets a zombie get close before each swing lands. That makes it a poor choice against a group. It suits a single zombie, ideally one that is already down.
The Long Blunt skill raises damage, crit chance and swing speed as it levels. The nailed and sawblade versions hit much harder and crit for five times the damage. Any of the crafted versions, or a Baseball Bat, should replace the plain leg as soon as possible.
Uses
The Antique Table Leg is a crafting base. The Make Nail-Spiked Weapon recipe adds five Nails with a hammer at Carpentry 1, and the result is the Antique Table Leg with Nails. The Make Sawblade Table Leg recipe needs Carpentry 5, a hammer, a saw, a wrench and a metal drill. It also takes five Nails, a Circular Sawblade, Barbed Wire and Nuts and Bolts. The result is the Antique Table Leg with Sawblade, an axe weapon. The leg can also be burned as fuel.

Repair
The Antique Table Leg has 4 condition, and each hit has a 1 in 3 chance of taking a point off. The Long Blunt and Maintenance skills both lower that chance. Duct Tape, Adhesive Tape and Glue repair it with no skill. Wood Glue needs Carpentry 2. Zip Ties need Maintenance 1, Epoxy needs Maintenance 3, and Epoxy with Rags needs Maintenance 4. Every repair restores less condition than the one before it.
Locations
The Antique Table Leg is a rare find, and it turns up only in places other survivors have used. Survivor safehouses hold it in cardboard boxes, crates, small boxes, metal shelves, counters and wardrobes. Late game safehouses give slightly better odds than early ones. Survivor caches can hold one on a counter as well.

Notes
- Five Nails and a hammer at Carpentry 1 make a far better weapon from the plain leg.
- The sawblade upgrade moves the weapon from Long Blunt to the Axe skill.
- Wood Glue and plain Glue both work as repairs, which keeps tape free for other gear.
- The leg can be burned as fuel once it is no longer useful.
