The Scrap Metal Morningstar - Short is a spiked metal head welded onto a short metal shaft. It is a one-handed blunt weapon that trains the Short Blunt skill.
It is one of the harder hitting short blunt weapons, and its crits are strong. A crit multiplies the damage five times. It is heavy for a one-handed weapon at 2.25. It takes a high Welding skill to make, though late game survivor safehouses can hold one. The Construction Worker is the best occupation for short blunt. It starts with the most Short Blunt skill. The Blacksmith and the Carpenter also start with some Short Blunt skill.
Combat
The Scrap Metal Morningstar - Short swings slightly slower than base speed and reaches about 1.1 tiles. Each hit deals between 0.7 and 1.4 damage. The crit chance starts at 30 percent, and a crit multiplies the damage five times. A crit often drops a zombie on the spot.
One hand stays free while it is equipped. The short reach means zombies must come close before the head lands. Its weight adds to the endurance cost of each swing. It suits fights against one or two zombies in tight rooms and corridors.
The Short Blunt skill raises damage, crit chance and swing speed as it levels. Compared with the Mace, it hits a little softer, reaches less and has a lower crit chance. Compared with the Short Bat with Nails, it hits a little harder but weighs more. The two-handed Scrap Metal Morningstar reaches farther and hits harder.
Uses
