Spikes
New
Spikes are two-pronged hand weapons from the Jack the Ripper expansion. Evie uses them to pin an enemy to the ground, where a hallucinogen in the spike makes him scream in terror and spreads fear to the enemies around him.

Good to know
- Spikes are only in the Jack the Ripper expansion.
- Each spike costs 15 Metal and 5 Leather to craft.
- A large spikes pouch (+4) needs 150 Leather and 50 Silk; its schematic comes from Loyalty Level 1 with Nellie.
- The Torturer skill makes impaled enemies take longer to collapse, and Recycling Spikes improves your odds of looting a spike back.
- The Shadowy Spikes perk muffles the victim's scream for a few seconds.
How they help
A pinned enemy's screams frighten anyone who sees it and also draw guards from further away, so think about where you use one. Evie leaves her victims alive.
Where they came from
The Indian Brotherhood developed them, and Jacob brought the technique back from India around 1873. They fall out of use before 1916.
Jack's spikesSpoilerShow
Jack the Ripper uses the same spikes, but he drives them in to kill, leaving victims to bleed out.
