The Spear with Long Simple Metal Head is a two-handed crafted spear tipped with a long, crudely forged metal blade. It trains the Spear skill. It is one of the long-headed spears, which reach a little further than the short-headed ones.
Its damage matches the best spears in the class. The rough blade wears out quickly, though, and it holds only 5 condition. It is also among the heaviest spears to carry. The Spear with Long Simple Metal Head is never found as loot. It is crafted from a Long Simple Metal Blade or a Long Simple Metal Knife and a Long Stick or a Sapling.
Combat
The Spear with Long Simple 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, and a fence line is the best place to spend this spear's short life. It suits a survivor who can forge crude blades but has not yet made a proper spearhead.
The Spear skill raises attack speed, damage and crit chance as it levels. The Spear with Long Metal Head deals the same damage with twice the condition and less weight. The Spear with Long Stone Head also matches the damage, lasts a little longer and weighs less.
Uses
The spear also works as a fishing spear, for catching fish in shallow water. Taking it apart with a hammer returns the Long Simple Metal Blade and a broken shaft.

Repair
The Spear with Long Simple Metal Head has 5 condition and loses a point on about 1 hit in 7. The Spear and Maintenance skills both lower that chance. The blade 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
- 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.
- Either a Long Simple Metal Blade or a Long Simple Metal Knife makes the same spear.
- Researching the spear can teach the recipes for binding spears and for forging crude and long crude blades.
- The shorter Simple Metal Blade makes the Spear with Simple Metal Head instead.
