The Spear with Bone Head is a two-handed primitive spear tipped with a Sharp Bone Fragment. It trains the Spear skill. It belongs to the short-headed spears, which reach a little less than the long-headed ones.
Bone makes it a useful spear for a survivor far from towns, since the head is made of bone. It hits a little softer than the stone and metal short spears, and its crits are weaker than theirs. It wears out fairly quickly. The Spear with Bone Head is mostly crafted, and on rare occasions it turns up in a survivor safehouse.
Combat
The Spear with Bone Head strikes from about 1.45 tiles. A zombie can be hit well before it grabs. Each hit deals between 0.9 and 1.5 damage. The crit chance starts at 20 percent, and a crit multiplies the damage four times, where most spears multiply it five times.
Both hands stay on the shaft. It weighs 2.4, light for a two-handed weapon. The weapon fits a rural or wilderness game where metal is scarce.
The Spear skill raises attack speed, damage and crit chance as it levels. The Spear with Stone Head has the same reach and weight with a little more damage and a stronger crit. The Spear with Long Bone Head reaches a little farther and hits harder, at a slightly higher weight.
Uses
The spear also works as a fishing spear for catching fish.
