Lumberjack
Lumberjack is part combat occupation, part resource engine — the Axe bonus does double duty.
Summary
Axe skill bonus plus carry-weight and outdoor benefits for a resource-gathering combat build.
Bonuses
- Bonus to Axe skill
- Improved carry capacity and outdoor efficiency
- Strong at cutting wood for fuel and construction
Axes Do Everything
The Axe is both a top-tier melee weapon and the tool for felling trees. A Lumberjack is therefore good at killing zombies and at producing the planks and firewood a long-term base needs.
Wilderness Synergy
With Build 42 pushing wilderness survival and crafting depth, a resource-oriented occupation like Lumberjack has aged well. Pair it with Outdoorsman for a self-sufficient rural build.
