Notes

The knife spear takes some time to make but is entirely doable for early survivors. It is the weakest of the spears, but it is better than nothing in the early game. You can find the recipe under weapons in the crafting menu (&).

  • Begin by finding a long stick, easily obtained in a forest by smashing apart a young tree. Curtains will provide you with string and a sheet. Cut the sheet into rags.
  • To cut the sheet up you might need to make a makeshift knife. You can disassemble the long string from curtains, or find some withered plants from searching undergrowth;
  • You must then make a spike for the tip (found under "misc" in the crafting menu); get a rock from outside and smash a locker or two to gain 9 scrap metal or 3 chunks of steel. Use the rock as your improvised hammer to crank out a twisted, metal spike. Once you have obtained all four components you can then fashion a knife spear.

A moderately effective early piercing weapon. Though the basic damage is somewhat lackluster, its ability to strike enemies two tiles away makes it ideal for training piercing weapons skill without getting hurt. It may also function as a good early weapon due to the range as well as its basic components. Beware, it is not very sturdy and it may be wise to craft a backup, and upgrade to a better spear as soon as possible.

It can make reach attacks (range 2). It also has food cooking 1 and cutting 1.
