The Spear with Screwdriver is a two-handed improvised spear made by binding a Screwdriver to a long shaft. It trains the Spear skill. It is one of the better short-headed spears.
It hits harder at the low end than any other short-headed spear, and it is one of the lighter spears to carry. Its durability sits in the middle of the bound spears. The Spear with Screwdriver is never found as loot. It is crafted from a Screwdriver and a Long Stick or a Sapling.
Combat
The Spear with Screwdriver strikes from a long reach, so a zombie can be hit before it grabs. Its weakest hits land harder than those of the kitchen knife and stone spears, which makes its damage more reliable. 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 safest place to fight with any spear. The weapon suits a survivor who wants a light, steady spear early on.
The Spear skill raises attack speed, damage and crit chance as it levels. The Spear with Hand Fork has the same durability but hits softer, swings slower and weighs more. The Spear with Hunting Knife and the Spear with Large Knife hit harder and reach further, at the cost of extra weight.
Uses
The spear also works as a fishing spear, for catching fish in shallow water. Taking the spear apart needs no tool. It returns the Screwdriver and a Long Stick, and the Screwdriver goes back to being a tool.

Repair
The Spear with Screwdriver 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 returns the Screwdriver with a Long Stick.
- Researching the spear can teach the recipes for binding spears with cord, tape or wire.
- A Long Stick or a Sapling serves as the shaft.
