The Cudgel with Garden Fork Head is a crafted two-handed blunt weapon. It is a heavy wooden club with the head of a garden fork bolted to the end. It trains the Long Blunt skill.
The fork head gives it a high top damage for a blunt club. Its crit doubles the damage, a softer crit than the nailed and spiked cudgels. The recipe needs Carpentry 6, a full set of tools and a recipe that has to be learned first. The weapon is a very rare find in late game survivor safehouses. The Construction Worker is the best occupation for long blunt. It starts with the most Long Blunt skill.
Combat
The fork-head cudgel swings below base speed and reaches 1.35 tiles. Each hit deals between 1.8 and 3.0 damage, enough to drop most zombies in one or two swings. The crit chance starts at 50 percent, and a crit doubles the damage.
Both hands stay on the club while it is equipped. The heavy club adds to the endurance cost of every swing. The long reach lets it strike before a zombie closes in, which suits a doorway or a fence line.
The Long Blunt skill raises damage, crit chance and swing speed as it levels. Among the Long Blunt cudgels, the fork head has the highest top damage. The Cudgel with Railspikes and the Cudgel with Spikes hit almost as hard and crit for three times the damage. The fork head wears down at half the rate of the railspike version. It suits a Long Blunt survivor who has a Garden Fork Head to spare.

Repair
The fork-head cudgel has 10 condition, and each hit has a 1 in 10 chance of taking a point off. The Long Blunt and Maintenance skills both lower that chance. Duct Tape, Adhesive Tape and Glue repair it with no skill. Wood Glue needs Carpentry 2. Zip Ties need Maintenance 1, Epoxy needs Maintenance 3, and Epoxy with Rags needs Maintenance 4. Every repair restores less condition than the one before it.
Locations
The Cudgel with Garden Fork Head is a very rare find. It turns up only in late game survivor safehouses. There it can sit in cardboard boxes, crates, small boxes, metal shelves or counters, each with a tiny chance. Wardrobes in those safehouses hold one even more rarely. Crafting one is far more reliable than looking for it.
