The Bone Club with Spikes is a one-handed bone club studded with metal spikes. It trains the Short Blunt skill. The spikes turn a weak camp weapon into a solid one. It hits harder than the plain Bone Club, crits far harder and lasts twice as long.
It is a crafted weapon from start to finish. A forge and Blacksmithing 5 can spike a bone or a Bone Club. A welding setup and Welding 7 can do the same job. As loot it is close to unknown, turning up only in late-game survivor safehouses on very rare occasions. The Construction Worker is the best occupation for short blunt. It starts with the most Short Blunt skill. The Blacksmith and the Carpenter also start with some Short Blunt skill.
Combat
The Bone Club with Spikes swings a little faster than normal and reaches 1.1 tiles. Each hit deals moderate damage, enough to finish an ordinary zombie in a few blows. The crit chance starts at 25 percent, and a crit multiplies the damage five times. Crits come often and land hard, which is the main reason to spike a club at all.
The club is one-handed and fairly light at 2. Each swing costs little endurance, so it holds up through a longer fight than most two-handed weapons. The free hand stays open for a flashlight or another light item. The Short Blunt skill raises damage, attack speed and crit chance with each level.
Compared with the plain Bone Club, the spiked version wins on every combat figure. It suits a survivor who has a forge or a welding torch but little steel to spare. It is a good everyday weapon for clearing single zombies and small groups around a rural base.
