The Leaf Rake is a garden tool that can be swung as a two-handed blunt weapon. It trains the Long Blunt skill. It is light at a weight of 1.5 and swings fast.
As a weapon it is very weak and very fragile. Its damage is low, and it breaks after a few hits. Its strengths are a long reach and the ability to strike several zombies at once. The Leaf Rake is a common find in sheds, garages, warehouses, greenhouses and farm buildings.
Combat
The Leaf Rake swings at a speed of 1.2, faster than base. It reaches 1.6 tiles, which keeps zombies at a distance. Each hit deals between 0.2 and 0.4 damage. One swing can hit up to three zombies at once. The crit chance is only 5 percent, and a crit deals normal damage.
The rake is two-handed but light, so its endurance cost stays low. It is a weapon for a brief scrap only.
The Long Blunt skill raises its speed and damage as it levels. The Leaf Rake suits a desperate moment when nothing else is at hand. It should be replaced by a real weapon at the first chance.
Uses
The Leaf Rake picks up animal dung. It burns as fire fuel. At a furnace it counts as a small iron item. A Primitive or better Furnace smelts it into an Iron Chunk. An Advanced Furnace turns it into a Steel Chunk.
Used in Crafting
Any recipe that asks for a smeltableironsmall accepts it as the tool, such as Smelt Iron From Small Item, Smelt Steel From Small Iron Item and Smelt Small Iron Item.
Repair
The Leaf Rake has only 4 condition. Each hit has a 1 in 3 chance of taking a point off, so it breaks very quickly. The Long Blunt and Maintenance skills lower that chance slightly. Duct tape, adhesive tape and glue repair it with no skill needed. Zip ties need Maintenance 1, wood glue needs Carpentry 2 and epoxy needs Maintenance 3.
Locations
The Leaf Rake is a common find. Sheds, closets, storage rooms, studios and warehouses all hold one at good odds. Garage storage and construction sites are almost as good. Florists, greenhouses, sunrooms and farm storage hold one often. Survivor safehouses keep one on their metal shelves at good odds as well.

- Its long reach can hold a single zombie back for a moment in an emergency.
- A broken rake still burns as fuel.
