Simple Pike

The Simple Pike does 2 damage a thrust. Pikes are for your zombie squads only; you cannot fight with one yourself. A zombie fights when it holds a pike or a bow and wears armor, and the Impaler zombie talent adds 2 to its pike damage (see Combat).

Unconfirmed: whether you can get one. Its recipe, 4 Sticks at the Woodworking Workbench I with Building mastery 2, has to be unlocked, and nothing in the game files unlocks it; no trader sells it either.
