## Upgrade Items

These are items required to build Upgrades in the Shelter.

### .38 Snubnose

* This is one of the most common pistols, and is considered a very low-end model of handgun. While light and all-around reliable, its short barrel and size make it less accurate than other guns.
* Equipped in a Weapon slot.
* Also required to build a Shooting Range upgrade.

### Bag of Cement

* A large bag of cement.
* Carried in inventory, and unloaded at the Shelter.
* Used to create the Reinforced Fence upgrade.

### Chicken

* Carried in inventory, and unloaded at the Shelter.
* Stocked in Chicken Coop upgrade if it exists, otherwise turned into Provisions.

### Claw Hammer

* A standard steel hammer with a plastic-coated grip, this tool's previous life consisted of driving in nails or prying apart sections of plywood. Still, its simplicity belies its effectiveness as a corpse-killing tool.
* Equipped in a Weapon slot.
* Also required to build a Wood Fence upgrade.

### Crowbar

* Crafted from medium carbon steel, this is an average-sized crowbar, sturdy and capable.

Somehow holding this weapon both makes you feel tough and slightly nerdy.
