How to build a spear trap?

First you have to dig a grave. Then you need one or more spear in your inventory (up to 5 spears per grave). Finally, simply right-click the grave and you'll see a menu option:

  • Once a spear has been added to the trap, it can also be retrieved with the menu option:
  • [list][*]Remove Spear from Grave[/list]
  • Beware, spear traps are dangerous! It's a double-edged sword. While it can kill zombies quite efficiently, you will also die if you walk on the trap!!!
  • [h1]Features[/h1]
  • [list]
  • When zombies walk over a grave with no spear, they'll get knocked down.
  • When zombies walk over a grave with at least one non-broken spear, they'll get killed instantly, breaking one spear.
  • When players run over a grave with no spear, they will get injured (foot or lower leg).
  • When players walk over a grave with at least one non-broken spear, they will get killed instantly too.

[spoiler]If you don't want to risk dying by walking over a spear trap, you can disable this behavior in Sandbox settings. In that case the players won't die, but will receive as many injuries as there are spears in the grave: Sandbox settings -> Sadistic AI Director -> Spear Traps Kill Players[/spoiler]
