Screwdriver

The Screwdriver is a common, civilian ranked melee weapon. Also classified as a crafting tool, the Screwdriver is among the most easily found weapons. This tool can be utilized to create the Toolkit, which in turn opens many more crafting possibilities for the player. As one can imagine, there are no upgrading options for this melee weapon.

As protection, the Screwdriver demands very close range to the target. It can mildly defend a survivor from recently spawned players, or single weak creatures including Infected Civilians and Bandits. When dealing with other players, the Screwdriver deals extra damage when aiming for the head, or back.

Because of it's extreme close range and below average damage output, the Screwdriver is not the most effective of weapons, even for a civilian ranking. Still, it's versatile crafting abilities compensates for its weakness. It can be attained in starter areas very early on in one's journey. Thus, due to its availability and future usefulness, the screwdriver is best kept until its crafting needs are met. Meanwhile, its provides unreliable defense and limited offensive options.
