The Scrap Metal Morningstar is a spiked metal head welded onto a long metal shaft. It is a two-handed blunt weapon that trains the Long Blunt skill.
It hits well and its crits are strong. A crit multiplies the damage five times, so a lucky swing often ends a zombie at once. It weighs 3 and swings a little slower than a bat. It takes a high Welding skill to make, though late game survivor safehouses can hold one. The Construction Worker is the best occupation for long blunt. It starts with the most Long Blunt skill.
Combat
The Scrap Metal Morningstar swings slightly slower than base speed and reaches about 1.3 tiles. Each hit deals between 0.8 and 1.6 damage. The crit chance starts at 30 percent, and a crit multiplies the damage five times. Many fights end on the first crit.
Both hands stay on the weapon while it is equipped. Its weight adds to the endurance cost of each swing. It suits fights against one or a few zombies at a time.
The Long Blunt skill raises damage, crit chance and swing speed as it levels. Compared with a Baseball Bat with Spikes, it hits softer and weighs more. The Long Mace also hits harder and crits more often. The one-handed Scrap Metal Morningstar - Short is lighter but reaches less.
Uses
The Scrap Metal Morningstar is a store of iron. At a Primitive or better Furnace it smelts into four Iron Chunks. At an Advanced Furnace it smelts into four Steel Chunks. At a Simple or better Furnace it can be melted into a crucible of iron for casting.

Repair
The Scrap Metal Morningstar 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. Epoxy repairs it. Every repair restores less condition than the one before it. A worn-out morningstar still has value at the furnace.
Locations
The Scrap Metal Morningstar is a very rare find. It turns up only in late game survivor safehouses. There it can sit in cardboard boxes, counters, crates, metal shelves or small boxes, each with a tiny chance. Welding one is far more reliable than looking for it.

Notes
- The Make Scrap Metal Morningstar recipe needs Welding 7 and eight uses of a Welding Torch.
- A full Steel Rod or Iron Pipe as the shaft gives this two-handed morningstar.
- A Broken Iron Pipe or a Steel Rod Half gives the one-handed Scrap Metal Morningstar - Short instead.
- The other parts are a small Steel Sheet and a Rag or strips, with a welding mask and metal snips or a saw kept.
- An animal bone or bone club in the same recipe gives a spiked bone club instead.
