Weapon

Boomerang

A club you can throw that curves back to your hand. Fun on chickens and wounded boars, a liability in a real fight, and it costs nothing but wood.

Overview

In-game description
Can be used a melee weapon or as a throwable. Once thrown (with right click) it travels in an arc before coming back to you.

Treat it as a party trick with a practical edge. Right click sends it out in an arc and back toward you, so you get a ranged hit that eats no arrows. A chicken by the road, a boar that has not noticed you, a teammate you want to annoy on the way to the monument: that is where it earns its wood.

In PvP it loses badly. A hunting bow hits harder at range and lets you keep shooting while you move, and against someone who runs straight at you a wooden spear is the better stick. The worst case is a throw that clips a tree or a wall. It drops right there, and now you walk over to pick it up while the other player lines up a shot.

No bench is needed and there is nothing to research, so trying one costs you almost nothing. Just keep a real weapon next to it.
