The Chair Leg with Nails is a wooden chair leg hammered full of nails. It is an improvised one-handed club that trains the Short Blunt skill. The nails add damage and a strong crit to a light, fast weapon. It still breaks after only a few hits.
It is made from a Chair Leg, three Nails and a hammer with Carpentry 1. A few mid game survivor safehouses hold one ready made.
Combat
The Chair Leg with Nails swings a little faster than most weapons. Its reach is short, so a zombie is close before the hit lands. Each hit deals modest damage. The critical chance is only 5 percent. A crit multiplies the damage five times, which can drop a zombie at once.
It hits harder than the plain Chair Leg and crits far harder. Both have the same short life of 3 condition and a high chance to lose a point per hit. Higher Short Blunt skill raises speed, damage and critical chance. The Broken Table Leg with Nails hits harder and lasts much longer. The Chair Leg with Nails suits a quick early weapon for single zombies.

Repair
The Chair Leg with Nails has 3 condition and loses a point on about 1 hit in 2. The Short 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.
Locations
The Chair Leg with Nails is a very rare find. It turns up only in mid game survivor safehouses. There it can sit in a cardboard box, a crate, a small box, a counter, a metal shelf or a wardrobe. Making one from a Chair Leg is far easier than finding one.

- Carry spare tape or glue, since it breaks quickly.
- It burns as fuel once it is worn out.
- The same nail recipe works on many other short pieces of wood.
