Fun

Above Ground Pool

A big wooden pool for the yard of a settled base. It does nothing in a fight, and the three tarps it eats are the real price of the fun.

Overview

In-game description

A large wooden pool that can be filled with water.

Building one says your clan is staying for the whole wipe. It is the biggest piece of the summer set, a wooden tub for the yard that you fill with water, and the list of what it does in a fight is empty.

The wood and the 200 metal fragments come easily. The three tarps do not, because the same tarps go into hazmat suits, planters and water catchers, and recycling the pool hands back only part of them.

Say your group of four has a walled compound on the coast and the loot rooms are full. Drop it inside the walls, carry water in with a water jug or run a hose to it, and it turns into the place everyone gathers after a raid. On a small base the paddling pool does the same job for cloth.

Direct hit, hard side, no duds. Beancan Grenade is a dud 15% of the time. Satchel Charge is a dud 20% of the time. A range runs from point blank to the far end of the bullet's falloff, fired from an Assault Rifle.
