The Tree Branch with Bone Spikes is a Tree Branch studded with sharpened bones and lashed with leather. It is a one-handed club that trains the Short Blunt skill.
Its fighting numbers match the plain Tree Branch exactly. It swings, hits and wears out the same way. It suits a survivor who already has bones and leather to spare and wants a club built from animal leftovers. It is crafted with the Bone Spike Weapon recipe. A few turn up in anthropology classroom display cases and in late game survivor safehouses. The Construction Worker is the best occupation for short blunt. It starts with the most Short Blunt skill. The Blacksmith and the Carpenter also start with some Short Blunt skill.
Combat
The Tree Branch with Bone Spikes swings at base speed and reaches 1.1 tiles. Each hit deals between 0.5 and 1 damage, so an ordinary zombie takes several swings to drop. The crit chance starts at 25 percent, and a crit doubles the damage.
One hand stays free while it is equipped. It weighs 2, the same as the plain branch. The Short Blunt skill raises damage, crit chance and swing speed as it levels.
For a club built on a branch, the Tree Branch with Nails hits harder and crits much harder. The Tree Branch - Can-Reinforced lasts longer. The Cudgel with Bone Spikes comes from the same recipe and uses a Large Branch instead.
