The Cudgel with Railspikes is a crafted two-handed blunt weapon. It is a heavy wooden club studded with five railroad spikes. It trains the Long Blunt skill.
The spikes give it strong damage and a crit that deals three times the damage. The cost is wear, since it loses condition fast. The recipe needs Carpentry 6 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 railspike cudgel swings below base speed and reaches 1.35 tiles. Each hit deals between 1.8 and 2.9 damage. The crit chance starts at 50 percent, and a crit triples the damage, so a crit usually ends the fight.
Both hands stay on the club while it is equipped. The heavy club adds to the endurance cost of every swing. It suits short fights against a few zombies at a doorway or a fence line.
The Long Blunt skill raises damage, crit chance and swing speed as it levels. The Cudgel with Spikes from the forge has the same damage and the same crit. The forged version wears down at half the rate. The railspike cudgel needs no forge, which makes it the easier of the two to build early. Against the Cudgel with Nails, it hits harder and crits more often.

Repair
The railspike cudgel has 10 condition, and each hit has a 1 in 5 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 Railspikes 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.
