The Spear with Hand Fork is a two-handed improvised spear made by binding a Hand Fork to a long shaft. It trains the Spear skill. The garden tool gives it slightly better damage than the kitchen knife spears.
It weighs as much as the best knife spears and swings a little slower than most. The Spear with Hand Fork is never found as loot. It is crafted from a Hand Fork and a Long Stick or a Sapling.
Combat
The Spear with Hand Fork strikes from a long reach and keeps a zombie at the end of the shaft. Its damage sits just above the Spear with Kitchen Knife and the Spear with Small Knife. The crit chance starts at 20 percent, and a crit multiplies the damage five times.
Its swing runs a little slower than the other spears. Over a long fight that small delay adds up. Both hands stay on the shaft. Spears can stab a zombie through a fence, which is the safest way to use any spear.
The Spear skill raises attack speed, damage and crit chance as it levels. The Spear with Screwdriver is the closest alternative. It hits a little harder, swings faster and weighs less, with the same durability. The Spear with Hand Fork is best for a survivor who has a spare Hand Fork and no better head to hand.
Uses
The spear also works as a fishing spear, for catching fish in shallow water. Taking the spear apart returns the Hand Fork and a Long Stick. The Hand Fork can then go back to garden work.

Repair
The Spear with Hand Fork has 7 condition and loses a point on about 1 hit in 4. 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.
Notes
- 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.
- Dismantling the spear needs no tool and returns the Hand Fork with a Long Stick.
- Researching the spear can teach the recipes for binding spears with cord, tape or wire.
