Bolt cutters, what does it do.

[Gimple]

I looked at the wiki and looked at Youtube but so far have not found any info on Boltcutters.
Found a few on my failed quest for sledgehammers, although I found ice pickaxe which works for stuff except demolition.
It it just another tool varient or something else?
Thank you.

In real life... you use them to cut padlocks or heavy metal chain on doors, so you can steal... I mean get into the shed that you forgot the key to.

Since pad locks are a new item in the game, im sure they will be used to cut them open on player locked doors and storage for multiplayer.

Play a resident evil game and you'll see what they're for

Found the bolt cutter too, not been able to use it so far. I still keep it in my truck for runs, just because it's cool to have it :) Wish I could finally get my hands on a sledgehammer though, I'm over a month in my game, travelled quite a lot, but still not found one :(

I have 4 sledge, and a few more sitting on the roads.

They pop up alot at those vehicle sites with work crews just chilling in the middle of the road.

are there any chains to cut in the game?

[Gimple]

Thanks for the replies. I got it if I need it although it sounds like its a asset placed for future use in game.

I feel like they'd work well on those metal grate barrier things surrounding some gun stores. I tried to use the bolt cutters on them, but they didn't work.

In real life, they’re what you'd use to break into your neighbor’s storage room. I have no idea what they’re for in the Zomboid world, though.

what about for cutting a wire fence?

if theres game on it i would say construction sites many of them should be locked down, or at least some of the containers especially the LV construction site where they are buidling a huge housing estate, with all their tools left scattered around in wooden crates thats also the sort of place i'd expect to use the bolt cutter

[Animalman]

if there is nothing implemented for it
i would think some cars in the future should be clamped on spawn.
parked in illegal spots. then you bolt cut the clamp or collect clamps and clamp cars

I've been them as a long blunt weapon, their durability is decedent, I've been using the same pair now for a few days and they haven't broken yet.

Can be used to cut tires instead the hacksaws.

i found a magazine with sledgehammer head as blacksmith recipe and crafted 19 of them (forgeron inside) a little carving of big handle and i can crush any wall now :)

[Lyoness]

Same for the axes i found the good magazine "american forge" something i melt now any old metal stuff on the furnace and build my own axes head (forge 8 needed) and crafted 200 2H wood axes wioh are as good as fire axes but a lot easier to obtain :)
