A pool cue is a two-handed blunt melee weapon.

Usage

Weapon

The pool cue is a multi-attack weapon, capable of hitting two zombies at a time in a swing. It is light for a long two-handed weapon, however will only deal 0.2 to 0.4 damage per swing.

The pool cue has difficulty knocking a zombie to the ground and will instead knock them back slightly.

Breaking doors

It is somewhat ineffective at bashing down doors, dealing just 1 damage per hit. For comparison, an axe deals 35 damage.

Chopping trees

It cannot be used to chop trees, dealing 0 damage per hit. For comparison, an axe deals 35 damage.

Condition

The pool cue is a long blunt weapon, therefore being influenced by the blunt skills: accuracy, guard and maintenance. It has a maximum condition of 10 and will be damaged depending on the player's maintenance skill. The chance of losing durability is: 1 in (10 + maintenance x 2)

Repairing

A pool cue cannot be fixed.

Distribution

The loot distributions can be found in the table(s) below.

Effective chance calculations are based off of default loot settings, and median zombie density. The higher the density of zombies in an area, the higher the effective chance of an item spawning. Chance is also influenced by the lucky and unlucky traits.
