The Sturdy Bone Club with Spikes is a large bone club studded with metal spikes. It is a one-handed weapon, and the game counts it as an axe, so it trains the Axe skill. The spikes turn the Sturdy Bone Club into a solid fighting weapon.
It hits harder than the plain sturdy club and lasts twice as long. Its crits are frequent and land very hard. It is a crafted weapon from start to finish. A forge and Blacksmithing 5 can spike a bone or a club, and a welding setup and Welding 7 can do the same. As loot it turns up only in late game survivor safehouses on very rare occasions. The Lumberjack is the best occupation for axes. It starts with the most Axe skill. The Firefighter also starts with some Axe skill.
Combat
The Sturdy Bone Club with Spikes swings a little faster than normal and reaches about 1.1 tiles. Each hit deals between 0.7 and 1.5 damage, enough to finish an ordinary zombie in a few blows. The crit chance starts at 25 percent, and a crit multiplies the damage five times.
The club is one-handed, so the free hand stays open for a light or a bag. It weighs 2.5, so each swing costs little endurance compared with a two-handed weapon. It suits clearing single zombies and small groups around a rural base.
The Axe skill raises its damage, attack speed and crit chance with each level, so it fits a survivor who already trains with axes. Compared with the Bone Club with Spikes, it hits harder at the top end for a little more weight. Compared with the unspiked Sturdy Bone Club, it wins on damage and durability.
