The Hardened Crowbar is a Tool in Barotrauma.

Description

The Hardened Crowbar is a two-handed tool which can be used as a Melee Weapon. Its an upgrade over the regular Crowbar as it forces doors open 40% faster and inflicts a lot more Blunt Force Trauma, a bit of Radiation Sickness and additionally has a good amount of Armor Penetration. It can deal with most small Creatures, and when paired with the Unstoppable Curiosity or Ph.D in Nuclear Physics talents its one of the strongest Melee Weapons. It can also be used to force-open locked doors and hatches similarly to the Plasma Cutter, but faster and without destroying the door, but its unable to un-seal doors which are welded shut.

It can be crafted by an Engineer with the Heavy Hitter talent unlocked; It cannot be bought.

Function

The Hardened Crowbar is held with both hands. As with all weapons and tools, using it is done by holding the Right-click to take aim, then by Left-clicking to shoot/use.

• It can be used to force-open doors and hatches by pressing the "Use" keybind ( by default) on a door. Only doors that the character doesn't have access to can be forced open with a crowbar.
  • It takes 5.4 seconds to force-open a door, and 4.3 seconds to force-open a wrecked door.
