The Rake is a garden tool with a long handle and a metal head. It can be swung as a two-handed improvised weapon that trains the Long Blunt skill. Its reach is long at 1.6 tiles, but its damage is very low and it breaks quickly.
The Rake earns its place as a tool more than as a weapon. It picks up animal dung, and its parts feed other recipes. It can be put together from a Rake Head and a Long Stick. The Rake is a common find in sheds, garages, warehouses, closets, farms, florists and greenhouses.
Combat
The Rake swings faster than normal and reaches about 1.6 tiles, further than most clubs. Each hit deals between 0.2 and 0.5 damage, so an ordinary zombie takes many swings to drop. The critical chance is only 5 percent.
The weapon is two-handed and weighs 2. Each swing costs a moderate amount of endurance. The long reach can keep a lone zombie at a distance for a moment. The Long Blunt skill raises damage and attack speed with each level, and it lowers wear.
The Rake has only 4 condition, and each hit has a 1 in 3 chance of taking a point off. It rarely lasts more than a few fights. It suits an emergency when nothing else is at hand. Almost any proper club is a better choice for a real fight.
Uses
The Rake picks up animal dung, which makes it useful around an animal pen. A sharp knife carves it into a Wooden Spear. With a hammer, it can be taken apart into a Rake Head and a broken handle. The Rake Head then goes into other recipes, such as the Rake-Head Scrap Metal Weapon.

Repair
The Rake has 4 condition, and each hit has a 1 in 3 chance of taking a point off. The Long Blunt and Maintenance skills lower that chance. 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. Every repair restores less condition than the one before it.
Locations
The Rake is a common find. Survivor safehouse shelves, sheds, storage rooms, studios, warehouses and closets give the best odds. Garage storage and construction sites hold one nearly as often. Florists, greenhouses and sunrooms keep one as well. Farmers' rooms and farm storage are another good place to look.

Notes
- Assemble Very Long Implement fits a Rake Head to a Long Stick at Maintenance 1, with a hammer and a sharp knife kept.
- Researching the Rake can teach the long implement and rake-head weapon recipes.
- Keep the Rake at the animal pen for dung and fight with a sturdier weapon.
