The club hammer is a short, blunt weapon that is used for combat in Project Zomboid. While it may seem tempting to use the club hammer to barricade windows or perform other building tasks, it’s important to note that this weapon is not well-suited for those purposes. Unlike the hammer, ball-peen hammer, or stone hammer, the club hammer cannot be used for building or dismantling wooden objects.
If you’re having trouble using a club hammer or regular hammer to barricade windows, you may want to try placing the plank(s) and nails in your main inventory rather than in a bag or container. It’s also worth noting that the club hammer cannot be used for barricading windows at all – you’ll need to use a hammer, ball-peen hammer, or stone hammer instead.
Now, let’s take a look at the stats and characteristics of the club hammer. Here is a table of the club hammer’s parameters and values:

As you can see, the club hammer has a decent range and a moderate swing time. It has a chance to cause a critical hit, which does extra damage, and it can be used to damage doors. However, the club hammer is not effective against trees or other objects made of metal, and it has a fairly low durability rating of 250.
So, where can you find a club hammer in the game world? Here is a list of locations and the probability of finding a club hammer there:

As you can see, the club hammer can be found in a variety of locations, such as toolboxes, general stores, and warehouses. It may be found in containers like crates, metal shelves, or counters.
If you find a club hammer that has a low durability rating, you may need to repair it before using it again. Here are the materials that can be used to repair the club hammer, along with the percentage of the club hammer’s durability that each material will restore:
| Material Use | Fix |
|---|---|
| Duct Tape | 25% |
| Glue | 40% |
| Adhesive Tape | 3 x |
| Wood Glue | 20% |
| Woodwork | 1 |
Finally, it’s worth noting that there are other types of hammers available in Project Zomboid. The hammer and ball-peen hammer can be used for construction tasks such as striking nails, while the club hammer is only good for combat. The club hammer has a shorter range than the other two types of hammers, but it has a higher critical hit chance and does extra damage when it lands a critical hit.
We hope this tutorial has helped you understand the club hammer and how to use it effectively in Project Zomboid. Happy hammering!
