The Large Handle - Can-Reinforced is a Large Handle reinforced with tin cans, screws and cloth. It is a two-handed improvised blunt weapon that trains the Long Blunt skill. It weighs 2.5.
The tin cans make the plain handle a better weapon in every way. It hits a little harder, crits harder and lasts longer. It is still a light, low damage weapon, so it suits the early game. It is made with the Can-Reinforce Long Weapon recipe at Carpentry 2.
Combat
The Large Handle - Can-Reinforced swings at base speed and reaches 1.28 tiles. Each hit deals between 0.6 and 1 damage, so a zombie takes several hits to drop. The crit chance starts at 30 percent, and a crit deals three times the damage.
The weapon is two-handed but light, so its endurance cost per swing stays low. The Long Blunt skill raises its speed, damage and crit chance as it levels.
Against the plain Large Handle, it gains a little damage, a better crit and more condition. Against the nail, sawblade or brake disc versions, it hits softer but lasts longer between repairs. It suits a survivor with spare tin cans and no forge.
