Long Blunt Melee weapons
A heavy two-handed railway tool that hits as hard as a sledgehammer.
Rare. Our sources list no common spawn rooms, so treat it as a lucky find in tool storage.
Town by town: loot locations.
Same damage as a sledgehammer at the same weight, so it tires you just as fast. Fight in short bursts.
The Railroad Spike Puller is a two-handed Long Blunt weapon. It hits for 2–3 damage with a reach of 1.35 and weighs 6. Its maximum condition is 10, and each hit has a 1 in 40 chance of costing a point of condition.
Railroad Spike Puller is on 3 loot tables in the game files. Share is how much of a table's total weight this item takes, before your sandbox loot settings. Each container rolls its table several times, so a bigger share and more rolls both mean you see it more often.
| Loot table | Where that table is used | Share | Rolls |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rail Yard Tools | Catwalk (crate, shelves, box); Railroad repair shop (box, cupboard, crate, …); Railroad storage (crate, box) | 6.8% | 4 |
| Melee Weapons Mid | Survivor safehouse (mid game) (box, cupboard, crate, …) | 0.18% | 4 |
| Melee Weapons Late | Survivor safehouse (late game) (box, cupboard, crate, …) | 0.13% | 4 |
