What it does
The Claw Pack turns your hands into a fast melee weapon. It hits for 35 damage every 0.47 seconds — about 74 enemy DPS — and mines tiles at 24 damage every 0.15 seconds. It is lighter than a Machete and much faster, but its 5-tile range means you have to commit.
Its 100 Cutting quality makes it useful for amputation and crafting, and 700 uses gives it a long service life. It cannot be crafted in the current demo, so treat a found Claw Pack as a major upgrade rather than a disposable tool.
Effects and usage
- 35 enemy damage at 0.47s cooldown; about 74 enemy DPS.
- 24 tile damage at 0.15s cooldown; about 160 tile DPS.
- 700 uses, 5-tile range and 0.9u weight.
- 100 Cutting quality; can amputate infected limbs.
How to get it
Weapon crates, life-pods and survivor stock. Not craftable in the demo.
This item is found as loot or bought from survivors; it has no crafting recipe in the current demo build. Its value scales with condition, charge or fluid volume, so sell it only after checking the trade value.
Field notes
- Use hit-and-run tactics; the reach is shorter than a crawler’s lunge.
- Its fast swing makes it good for stun-locking small enemies.
- Do not waste condition mining hard rock if a digging tool is available.
- Pair it with a light source in your off hand for dark tunnels.
