The Broken Field Hockey Stick with Nails is a snapped hockey stick shaft with three nails driven through it. It is a one-handed improvised club that trains the Short Blunt skill. The nails give it fair damage, a long reach for its class and a strong crit.
It comes from breaking a Field Hockey Stick with Nails in a fight, or from nailing a Broken Field Hockey Stick. Survivor safehouses hold one on very rare occasions. It burns as fuel in a campfire once it is used up.
Combat
The Broken Field Hockey Stick with Nails swings at normal speed and reaches 1.25 tiles. That reach lets it strike before most one-handed weapons do. Each hit deals moderate damage, so an ordinary zombie drops in a few blows. The crit chance starts at 30 percent, and a crit multiplies the damage five times. Crits come often and land hard.
The stick weighs 2, so each swing costs little endurance. 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.
Next to the plain broken stick, the nailed version hits harder, reaches a little further and crits far harder. With 10 condition and a 1 in 5 chance of losing a point per hit, it lasts longer than a nailed branch or bat stump. It makes a solid early weapon for single zombies and small groups.
