The Cudgel - Sheet Metal Reinforced is a heavy wooden club wrapped in sheet metal. It is a two-handed weapon that trains the Long Blunt skill. It hits hard, crits often and lasts a long time. Its weight and slow swing are the price.
It is made by bolting sheet metal onto a Large Branch with the Sheet Metal-Reinforce Weapon recipe at Carpentry 4. A few late game survivor safehouses hold one. The Construction Worker is the best occupation for long blunt. It starts with the most Long Blunt skill.
Combat
The Cudgel - Sheet Metal Reinforced swings slower than most weapons. Its reach is about one and a third tiles. Each hit deals heavy damage, enough to drop an ordinary zombie in one or two swings. The critical chance is 50 percent, and a crit triples the damage.
It is two-handed and weighs 6, so it is tiring to carry and to swing. Each swing drains endurance, and a tired survivor swings slower still. Higher Long Blunt skill raises speed, damage and critical chance. Against the Cudgel with Bone Spikes it hits a little softer but crits more often. It also has twice the condition. Against a Baseball Bat it hits much harder and lasts longer but swings slower. It suits a durable main weapon for a strong survivor.

Repair
The Cudgel - Sheet Metal Reinforced has 20 condition. At low skill it loses a point on about 1 hit in 20. 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.
Locations
The Cudgel - Sheet Metal Reinforced is a very rare find. It turns up only in late game survivor safehouses. There it can sit in a cardboard box, a crate, a small box, a counter or a metal shelf. Making one is far more reliable than finding one.

Notes
- The recipe needs a screwdriver, metal snips or a saw, a wrench and a metal drill, all kept.
- Small Steel Sheets, Sheet Metal Scrap or Aluminum Scrap all work as the plating.
- The same recipe reinforces a Baseball Bat instead when one is used.
- Its weight makes it a better base defence weapon than a travel weapon.
