The Spear with Long Bone Head is a two-handed primitive spear tipped with a Long Sharp Bone. It trains the Spear skill. It belongs to the long-headed spears, which reach a little further than the short-headed ones.
Bone makes it a useful spear for a survivor far from towns, since the head is made of bone. Its damage is just below the metal and stone long spears, and its crits hit a little softer than theirs. The Spear with Long Bone Head is mostly crafted, and on rare occasions it turns up in a survivor safehouse.
Combat
The Spear with Long Bone Head strikes from the long end of the spear range. A zombie can be hit well before it grabs. 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. Spears can stab a zombie through a fence, which suits a spear with modest durability. 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 Long Stone Head has the same reach and durability with a little more damage and a stronger crit. The short Spear with Bone Head is lighter but hits softer and reaches less far.
Uses
The spear also works as a fishing spear, for catching fish in shallow water. Taking it apart with a hammer returns the Long Sharp Bone and a broken shaft.
