The Ice Hockey Stick with Barbed Wire is an Ice Hockey Stick wrapped in a coil of Barbed Wire. It is a crafted two-handed blunt weapon that trains the Long Blunt skill. It keeps the long reach and the damage of the plain stick. The wire makes it far more durable.
Anyone with Maintenance 1, a pair of pliers and a roll of Barbed Wire can make one. It is a very rare find in late game survivor safehouses, so crafting is the usual way to get one.
Combat
The barbed stick swings a little slower than base speed and reaches about 1.6 tiles. That reach keeps zombies at a safe distance. Each hit deals between 0.3 and 0.7 damage, so an ordinary zombie takes several blows. The crit chance starts at 30 percent, and a crit doubles the damage.
Both hands stay on the stick while it is equipped. The long swing suits fighting across a fence or holding a doorway. The Long Blunt skill raises damage, crit chance and swing speed as it levels. A Baseball Bat hits harder at shorter reach. The barbed stick is a cheap, long-reaching weapon that lasts much longer than the plain stick.
Uses
A sharp knife can carve the barbed stick into a Long Stick.

Any recipe that asks for a carvelongstick accepts it as the tool, such as Carve Long Stick.
Repair
The barbed stick has 10 condition. Each hit has a 1 in 7 chance of taking a point off. The plain stick has 7 condition and loses a point 1 hit in 5, so the wire is a clear gain. 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 Ice Hockey Stick with Barbed Wire is a very rare find. It turns up only in late game survivor safehouses. There it can sit in cardboard boxes, counters, crates, metal shelves or small boxes, each with a tiny chance. Crafting one is far more reliable than looking for it.
