Railroad Spikes

A common ranged weapon with 8 uses that deals 5 damage to a target up to 4 tiles away. One of the more durable common weapons by use count, offering reliable ranged damage across multiple encounters. Range can be extended with range bonuses. Part of the Lead set.

At 5 damage per throw across 8 uses, Railroad Spikes delivers 40 total damage — significant for a common weapon. The 4-tile range is moderate, keeping the user at enough distance to avoid most melee threats while still covering key areas of the battlefield. Physical damage with no secondary effects makes it straightforward but consistent. The Lead set connection means it may gain additional properties or bonuses alongside other Lead-tagged items.

Railroad Spikes suit any build that wants steady ranged output without depending on specific mechanics or status effects. Their high use count makes them a dependable fallback weapon when other tools are depleted. Lead set builds benefit from equipping them alongside Pipe and other Lead items to complete set bonuses. The straightforward damage profile makes Railroad Spikes safe to use broadly — there's no risk of wasting a special proc on the wrong target, just reliable ranged pressure every combat.
