The Bucket Maul - Metal Handle is a metal bucket filled with concrete and bolted onto a steel rod or an iron pipe. It is a heavy two-handed crafted weapon that trains the Long Blunt skill. It hits hard and crits very often. Its great weight and slow swing make it tiring to carry and to use.
It is crafted only, with the Make Bucket Maul recipe and Maintenance 5. The recipe uses a metal bucket, a Steel Rod or an Iron Pipe, concrete, cloth strips, and Nuts and Bolts. The Construction Worker is the best occupation for long blunt. It starts with the most Long Blunt skill.
Combat
The Bucket Maul - Metal Handle swings slower than most weapons. Its reach is a little over one tile. Each hit deals heavy damage, enough to drop an ordinary zombie in one or two swings. The critical chance is very high at 70 percent, and a crit doubles the damage.
The weight is the main cost. At a weight of 10 it fills a large share of a survivor's carry limit. Each swing drains endurance, and a tired survivor swings slower still. Higher Long Blunt skill raises speed, damage and critical chance. It shares its combat numbers with the Bucket Maul - Wood Handle. It suits short, heavy fights near a base rather than long trips.

The Bucket Maul - Metal Handle has 10 condition. Each hit has about a 1 in 10 chance of losing a point. The Long Blunt skill and the Maintenance skill both lower that chance. Each repair restores less condition than the one before.
Notes
- The recipe needs a wrench and a metal drill, and both are kept.
- Rags, Denim Strips or Leather Strips all work as the grip wrap.
- The metal and wood handle versions hit the same; only the handle material differs.
- Its weight makes it a poor weapon for long scavenging runs.
