The Umbrella (Closed) is a folded umbrella that doubles as an improvised spear. It is held in both hands and trains the Spear skill. Opened, the same umbrella keeps a survivor dry in the rain.

As a weapon it is the lightest spear in the game, at a weight of 1. It is also the weakest, with low damage, short reach and a poor crit. Its real value is the rain cover it gives when open. The Umbrella (Closed) is an uncommon find in wardrobes and bedroom lockers in homes and motels.

Combat

---

The Umbrella (Closed) swings a little slower than base speed and reaches 1.1 tiles. Each hit deals between 0.5 and 0.7 damage, so an ordinary zombie takes many swings to drop. One swing hits only a single zombie. The crit chance starts at 10 percent.

As an improvised spear, it can make a spear charge. A survivor who sprints for a few seconds begins the charge, and a zombie on the receiving end dies in one blow. The charge suits a lone zombie, since the kill animation leaves the survivor open. Sprinting makes noise, turning is harder, and running into a wall knocks the survivor down.

The umbrella has 7 condition, and each hit has a 1 in 3 chance of taking a point off. The Spear and Maintenance skills lower that chance. The Spear skill also raises damage and crit chance as it levels. Any crafted Wooden Spear outclasses it in a fight, so the umbrella is a backup at best.

Uses

---

Opened, the umbrella is held over the head to keep off the rain. Staying dry is important in wet weather, most of all on windy days. The Open Umbrella and Close Umbrella recipes switch between the two forms. Both take only the umbrella itself. The umbrella comes in several colours, all with the same numbers.

Locations

---

The Umbrella (Closed) is an uncommon find in homes and motels. Living room wardrobes give the best odds. Bedroom wardrobes and lockers hold one at a similar rate, and so do wardrobes in any building. Dressers and wardrobes in occupied motel rooms can hold one too. Closet metal shelves carry only the faintest chance.

The places where it spawns, with the rough chance per container.

Any building	Wardrobe	0.6%
Bedroom	Locker	0.6%

Notes

---

• Opening the umbrella turns it from a weapon into rain cover.
• It is the lightest spear, so it costs little to carry as a spare.
• The spear charge works with the umbrella like any other spear.
• Every colour of umbrella fights the same way.
