“It's nothing fancy, but this steel pipe still delivers the damage where it hurts.”
— In-game description
The Steel Pipe is a blunt Headhunter weapon featured in Dead Island 2. It can be found abundantly across Los Angeles.
Overview[]
The Steel Pipe is an improvised weapon and so shares a lot of the same characteristics of the class. It has medium damage, as found weapons scale with the player level, however it has low force and a relatively slow swing speed. It also has very poor durability, breaking after killing just a few Zombies. It can only be found as a common rarity weapon and so can't accept any mods or Perks or be repaired. In a pinch, the weapon is capable of taking out Runners, Shamblers and Walkers, and is a viable weapon for the early game when decent rarity weapons, and weapons in general, are scarce. However, after a few better weapons of even common rarity are found, the usefulness of the Steel Pipe quickly drops off. It is mostly incapable of taking out a Crusher and have durability left over, and you'll burn through Steel Pipes when you come across a horde. In the mid game and beyond, Steel Pipes are really only useful for scrapping into mod parts or as an emergency weapon to pick up if you have no other usable weapons in your inventory.
