Iron Club

This article has been updated for Kenshi version 1.0.37 (Experimental).

Iron Clubs are Blunt class weapons introduced in update 0.42. With a focus on Blunt Damage, they make decent tools for capturing bandits and other criminals for their bounties. Packs of Cannibals and Starving Bandits are known to carry these, often of the rusted variety.

This weapon has inventory dimensions of 1x7. It can be equipped in both the primary and secondary weapon slots.

The ability to make these weapons is unlocked by researching Basic Weapon Smithing.

Trivia[]

When originally implemented Iron Clubs were classified as Sabres. This was fixed in version 0.90.0 when the Blunt class was implemented.
Even though there is a Meitou texture, it does not spawn in game, making it impossible to get your hands on without mods.
