The Spear with Long Metal Head is a two-handed spear built around a forged Long Metal Spearhead. It trains the Spear skill. It shares the highest durability of any spear with the Spear with Metal Head, and it matches the best knife spears for damage and reach.
Unlike the lashed knife spears, its head is fitted to the shaft with a hammer. That makes it a true spear rather than an improvised one. It is lighter than the heavy knife spears too. The Spear with Long Metal Head is never found as loot. It is assembled from a Long Metal Spearhead and a Long Stick or a Sapling.
Combat
The Spear with Long Metal Head strikes from the long end of the spear range. A zombie walking in takes the first hit before it can grab. Its damage is at the top of the spear class. 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, so a fence line becomes a safe killing point. The spear's durability means it can hold such a line for far longer than a bound spear.
The Spear skill raises attack speed, damage and crit chance as it levels. The shorter Spear with Metal Head is just as tough and a little lighter, but hits softer and reaches less far. The Spear with Hunting Knife deals the same damage, but it weighs more and wears out sooner. For a survivor with a forge, this is the best spear to aim for.
Uses
The spear also works as a fishing spear, for catching fish in shallow water. Taking it apart with a hammer returns the Long Metal Spearhead and a broken shaft, so the head can go onto a new stick.

Repair
The Spear with Long Metal Head has 10 condition and loses a point on about 1 hit in 10. The Spear and Maintenance skills both lower that chance. The head can be sharpened with a whetstone, a grindstone or, poorly, with a file. The spear 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
- Assembly needs Maintenance 1, a hammer, club hammer or mallet, and a sharp knife; both tools are kept.
- The same recipe fits a Metal Spearhead to make the shorter Spear with Metal Head.
- Researching the spear can teach the recipes for assembling spears and for forging spearheads and crude blades.
- A Long Stick or a Sapling serves as the shaft.
