The Spiked Football Shoulderpad - Left is one half of a football shoulder pad set, studded with nails and reinforced with leather. It is protective gear worn over the left shoulder, made for survivors who fight zombies up close.
It stops half of the bites and scratches on the upper torso. It barely slows attacks. Its costs are some discomfort and the loss of a backpack, since shoulder pads clash with anything worn on the back.
The pad is made in two ways. A plain Football Shoulderpad - Left can be spiked with nails and leather. A full set of Spiked Football Shoulderpads (On Top) can also be cut in two, which gives this pad and the matching right one. The Tailor is the best occupation for protective gear. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The pad covers the upper torso. It stops half of all bites and half of all scratches there. Warmth comes from the clothing worn under it. The pad loses condition from hits instead of tearing, about one point every third hit.
It slows attacks by only 2 percent. The plain Football Shoulderpad - Left gives exactly the same protection at the same weight and the same attack cost. The spikes double its discomfort. The Spiked Football Shoulderpad - Right slows attacks by 3 percent. The full Spiked Football Shoulderpads (On Top) stop every bite and scratch on the upper torso, but they weigh twice as much.
The pad sits in the Left Shoulder Pad slot. It cannot be worn with a backpack, webbing, a bulletproof vest, a shoulder holster, a full set of sport shoulder pads, a full suit or a breathing mask.

The places where it spawns, with the rough chance per container.
| Location | Container | Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Survivor safehouse (late game) | Dresser | 0.3% |
| Survivor safehouse (late game) | Wardrobe | 0.3% |
| Survivor safehouse (late game) | Cardboard box | 0.1% |

| Survivor safehouse (late game) | Small box | 0.1% |
Notes
- The in-game tooltip warns that it cannot be worn with a backpack.
- Splitting a spiked full set gives both the left and the right pad.
- The left and right pads fill separate slots, so both can be worn at once.
- The spikes double the discomfort of the plain pad at the same weight.
