Branch

The Branch is an uncommon melee weapon that can found by chopping down a tree.

Advantages

 * Relatively easy to obtain.
 * It has a high attack speed, on par with the Crowbar and Katana.
 * Decent reach, making it safer to use against zombies.
 * Can be easily crafted into three sticks.

Disadvantages

 * Very low damage, taking several strikes to down a civilian zombie.
 * Because it only drops from trees, obtaining one means that you already possess a generally superior Axe, Fire Axe or Chainsaw.

Crafting
Can be broken down into 3 sticks via the Crafting tool.

Trivia

 * The animations for the tree branch are the same as for the Bat.
 * Strangely enough, a Wooden Spike can slightly be seen in the background of the Branch's icon.
 * The Branch animations are similar to the baseball bat.
