Overview

Pipe Rifles were added to the game in Alpha 20. They are intended to be an early-game weapon, much like their precursor the Blunderbuss. The two core components used in crafting are pipes and glue.

Like all pipe weapons, it can be crafted right at the beginning of the game (assuming the player has all its crafting ingredients) requiring no workstations, books or skills.

Headshotting adds 25 extra damage in A21.

Combat

The Pipe Rifle provides medium-long range damage. With only a single round loaded at a time, the Pipe Rifle needs careful aiming for headshots to maximize damage. A level 1 Pipe Rifle at Nomad difficulty will almost always guarantee a kill on a normal zombie if it is a sneak-damage-multiplied headshot, thus it is best used to ambush enemies. The long reload time makes the Pipe Rifle a bit unwieldy against groups, in close quarters, or against fast-moving enemies like dogs.

It's a good weapon if the player is good enough to use the rifle effectively, and while collecting supplies to craft the better, superior Hunting Rifle unless it's found in the world prior to that.

In Alpha 21, the Hunting Rifle will be the best craft able for people who specialize in Rifles, as the next upgrade needs enough books to be read for level 27 of the Rifles Skill tree, which can be very arduous to get depending on loot spawn.

A higher Quality item may provide better stats at the cost of increased material and unlock requirements.

Repair

The Condition of a Pipe Rifle deteriorates with each use until eventually it will stop working and will need to be repaired. This can be done using a Short Iron Pipe.
