The Harmonica is a small mouth organ. Held in the hand, it makes the character's shout carry further. It works like a whistle, only weaker.
A louder shout reaches allies farther away. It also draws zombies from a wider area, which can be used to pull them away from a spot. The harmonica is light and easy to carry.
It is common in closets, music stores and pawn shops.
Using
With the harmonica equipped, the shout action plays the harmonica instead. Its sound reaches about one and a half times as far as a plain shout. That helps when calling to other survivors or luring zombies into a trap.
A whistle has the same kind of effect with a stronger boost. The harmonica fills in until a whistle turns up.
Locations
Closets are the best place to look, with a harmonica about two times in five. Music store shelves and pawn shop shelves are just as good. Kids' cigar boxes hold one about one time in five. Music store storage, bedroom boxes and pawnshop storage turn one up now and then. Prison cells, attics and zombies in trucker outfits give smaller chances.
