Spiked Baseball Bat
A spiked baseball bat is a two-handed long blunt melee weapon.
Usage
The spiked baseball bat is a craftable improvement to the basic baseball bat which does more damage, generally killing Zombie with one well-charged hit, however with an increased probability of damaging it.
It has good range, knockback, and deals above average damage, with relatively common components. The improved damage does come with the drawback of causing damage to clothing worn by zombies.
Breaking doors
It can be used to bash down doors, causing 7 damage per swing.
Condition
It has lower durability than a standard baseball bat. This is counteracted by the ability to repair it with nails, which are very common. Each nail restores a full point of condition if successful. This can dramatically extend the life of the bat for not much extra investment.
The spiked baseball bat has a maximum condition of 15. Its rate of degradation is influenced by the long blunt and maintenance skills. The chance of losing durability can be simplified to the following formula: 1 in (10 + maintenanceMod × 2)
. Where "maintenanceMod" is calculated using the long blunt and maintenance skills.
Below is an example of the chance of losing durability at varying levels of the maintenance and long blunt skills.
Maintenance skill | Weapon skill | Condition lower chance |
---|---|---|
0 | 0 | 1/10 (10%) |
0 | 4 | 1/12 (8%) |
0 | 8 | 1/14 (7%) |
4 | 0 | 1/14 (7%) |
8 | 0 | 1/18 (6%) |
4 | 4 | 1/16 (6%) |
4 | 8 | 1/18 (6%) |
8 | 8 | 1/22 (5%) |
10 | 10 | 1/24 (4%) |
Repairing
- At level 7 carpentry, wood glue will repair 75% durability
- Unlike with all weapons, nails can be used to repair the spiked bat.
- Due to how the repair system work in whole numbers, any successful repair will repair the spiked bat by the minimum amount: 1. Meaning that with the lowest success rate with nails being 50% and a low chance to lose condition on failure, a player may repair the spiked bat upwards of 30 times while still gaining more condition than loss.
- The Spiked Baseball Bat has an averaging 150 swings before repair, after 30 repairs via nails, it can easily reach 400+ swings.
