Guide to Crafting
Improvised Weapons
Spear
The spear is a fairly strong makeshift melee weapon which can only be held in hand or on your back. It does 10 brute when wielded with one hand, and 18 brute when wielded in both hands (or 11 one handed, 19 two handed when made with plasmaglass). Press z to wield with both hands.
You can impale a decapitated head on the spear, and display it for all to see. However, this essentially nullifies the spear as a weapon. (you can just make another one, but, eh...) Throwing the spear deals even more brute damage (enough to damage lockers!) and has a decent chance to embed into a target for massive damage and bleeding.
