The Large Handle with Rake Spikes is a Large Handle with a Rake Head bolted to the end. It is a two-handed improvised blunt weapon that trains the Long Blunt skill. It weighs 2.
The rake tines add damage and a five times crit to the plain handle. The crit chance is low, so most kills come from steady hits. It is made with the Make Rake-Head-Spiked Weapon recipe at Carpentry 4.
Combat
The Large Handle with Rake Spikes swings at base speed and reaches 1.25 tiles. Each hit deals between 0.7 and 1.5 damage. The crit chance starts at only 10 percent, but a crit deals five 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 hits clearly harder. Against the brake disc and railspike versions, it wears far more slowly. That makes it a good balance of damage and lasting power among the upgraded handles.
