The Lacrosse Stick is a sports stick that works as an improvised two-handed blunt weapon. It trains the Long Blunt skill. It is very light at a weight of 0.4.
Its strength is reach. The stick reaches further than most melee weapons and can hit two zombies with one swing. Its damage is low, so fights take several hits. The Lacrosse Stick is found as loot, most often in school gym storage rooms.
Combat
The Lacrosse Stick reaches 1.6 tiles, which keeps zombies at a safe distance. It swings at a speed of 0.9, a little slower than base. Each hit deals between 0.3 and 0.7 damage. One swing can strike up to two zombies at once. The crit chance starts at 30 percent, and a crit doubles the damage.
The stick is two-handed, but its low weight keeps the endurance cost small. That lets a survivor keep swinging longer than with a heavy club. The long reach helps hold a zombie off while it is worn down.
The Long Blunt skill raises its speed, damage and crit chance as it levels. It suits an early game survivor who needs reach more than power. It is a stopgap until a heavier Long Blunt weapon turns up.
Uses
The Lacrosse Stick burns as fire fuel. A worn out stick can still feed a campfire or a stove.
Repair
The Lacrosse Stick has 10 condition. 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 needed. Zip ties need Maintenance 1, and wood glue needs Carpentry 2. Epoxy needs Maintenance 3, and epoxy with rags needs Maintenance 4. Each repair restores less condition than the one before.
Locations
The Lacrosse Stick is a fairly common find in the right place. School gym storage rooms give by far the best odds, on metal shelves and in other storage. Closets and pawn shops hold one now and then. Survivor safehouses and survivor caches can hold one at a low rate. Storage units and attics turn one up only rarely.

Notes
- The light weight makes it an easy spare to carry alongside a main weapon.
- Hitting two zombies per swing helps when a pair comes through a doorway.
- School gyms are the place to look when a Lacrosse Stick is wanted.
