The Heavy Chain is a long length of thick metal chain. The game sorts it with the tools. It is a very heavy item, and most survivors leave it where it lies.
It is common in logging yards, garages and tool cabinets. A longer, hooked version exists as the Heavy Chain with Hook. The Carpenter is the best occupation for tools. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. The Construction Worker and the DIY Expert also start with some Carpentry skill.
Using
The chain is made of metal. Putting it in a microwave can start a fire, as with any metal item.
Its great weight makes it a poor thing to carry on a looting run.
Locations
Logging factories and logging warehouses are the best place to look, with a chain more often than not. Police garages and fire station garages keep them in tool cabinets. Tool cabinets in any building, car supply stores and mechanics turn one up now and then. Construction sites, farm storage, sheds, closets and attics give smaller chances.
