Characteristics
Overview
A 3 pronged pitchfork. Extremely easy to hit targets with.
Reach and easy hits are the whole appeal. The prongs cover a wide area, so your pokes keep landing on someone who dances around you, and you stay a step further away than with a knife or a club.
Picture a fresh spawn with a rock, strafing left and right on the beach. With a wooden spear you whiff half your jabs. With the fork he runs out of room long before you run out of swings.
Pros
Cons
- Hard to miss at melee range
- Keeps the other guy further away than short blades do
- A spare recycles into metal fragments and wood
- You cannot craft it at all, so you only get one from loot or a trade
- It cannot go on a research table, so finding one does not teach you to craft it
One thing to clear up: the pitchfork bolt in the ammo list is a ballista bolt and has nothing to do with this fork.
Recycling
At power grid stage 2 a green recycler works at 60% instead of 50%. Yields depend on the recycler.
