The Bucket Maul - Wood Handle is a metal bucket filled with concrete and fixed to a Large Handle. It is a heavy two-handed crafted weapon that trains the Long Blunt skill. It hits hard and crits very often. Its weight and slow swing make it a tiring weapon.
It is crafted only, with the Make Bucket Maul recipe and Maintenance 5. The recipe uses a metal bucket, a Large Handle, 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 - Wood Handle swings slower than most weapons and reaches 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.
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 and hits softer. Higher Long Blunt skill raises speed, damage and critical chance. It shares its combat numbers with the Bucket Maul - Metal Handle. The wood handle version is easier to keep in shape, because common tape and glue repair it. It suits short, heavy fights close to a base.

Repair
The Bucket Maul - Wood Handle has 10 condition and loses a point on about 1 hit in 10. The Long Blunt skill and the Maintenance skill both lower that chance. Duct tape, adhesive tape and glue repair it with no skill needed. Zip ties need Maintenance 1, wood glue needs Carpentry 2, and epoxy needs Maintenance 3. Epoxy with rags needs Maintenance 4. 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.
- Tape and glue repair the wood handle version, which makes it cheaper to maintain than the metal one.
- Its weight makes it a poor weapon for long scavenging runs.
