The Spear with Glass Head is a two-handed crafted spear tipped with a shard of glass. It trains the Spear skill. It is one of the easiest spears to make, since broken glass and smashed bottles are everywhere after the outbreak.
The glass tip is fragile. The spear holds only 2 condition and breaks faster than any other bound spear. Its damage sits in the middle of the spear class, level with the stone and simple metal heads. The Spear with Glass Head is mostly crafted, and on rare occasions it turns up in a survivor safehouse.
Combat
The Spear with Glass Head strikes from a long reach, so a zombie can be hit before it closes in. The crit chance starts at 20 percent, and a crit multiplies the damage five times. Both hands stay on the shaft.
Spears can stab a zombie through a fence. With a weapon this fragile, a fence line is the safest place to use it. The spear suits an emergency, such as the first days without a proper weapon. It is best treated as a throwaway that buys time until a sturdier spear is ready.
The Spear skill raises attack speed, damage and crit chance as it levels. Against the Spear with Stone Head, it hits the same but wears out far sooner. The Spear with Metal Head deals the same damage and lasts many times longer.
Uses
The spear also works as a fishing spear, for catching fish in shallow water. The glass head and wooden shaft can be burned as fuel in a fire once the spear is past saving.

Repair
The Spear with Glass Head has 2 condition and loses a point on about 1 hit in 2. The Spear and Maintenance skills both lower that chance. It can be repaired with duct tape, adhesive tape, glue, zip ties, wood glue or epoxy. Zip ties need Maintenance 1, wood glue needs Carpentry 2, and epoxy needs Maintenance 3. Each repair restores less condition than the one before it. With such a low maximum, binding a new spear is often cheaper than repairing the old one.
Locations
The Spear with Glass Head is a very rare find. It appears only in survivor safehouses that spawn in the middle stage of a game. There it can sit in cardboard boxes, small boxes, crates, counters, metal shelves and wardrobes, each with a tiny chance.

Notes
- Either Broken Glass or a Smashed Bottle makes the head.
- The spear can be bound with zip ties, leather strips or twine at Maintenance 1, with duct tape at any skill, or with wire and pliers at Maintenance 1.
- A Long Stick or a Sapling serves as the shaft.
- Researching the spear can teach the recipes for binding spears with cord, tape or wire.
