Signature Weapons
Signature Weapons
Turn your favorite weapon into a legendary artifact! The Signature Weapons mod allows survivors to claim a weapon as their own, track its kills, and watch it grow in power the longer they survive.
Key Features
- Claim Your Arsenal: You can claim up to 2 signature weapons per account.
- Custom Naming: Give your weapon a custom name (using letters, numbers, and spaces) via the right-click context menu. The name will proudly display in brackets, such as [Old Reliable].
- Infinite Durability: Your signature weapon will never break in your hands. Striking a zombie or swinging the weapon instantly restores its condition to maximum.
- Psychological Comfort: Holding your trusted weapon calms your nerves. Wielding a signature weapon grants a passive stress reduction and a panic recovery bonus that scales with your kill count, capping at a 25% recovery bonus at 12,500 kills.
- Strict Anti-Theft: Your weapon is soulbound to you. Non-owners are completely blocked from moving, dragging, or picking up your claimed weapon from the world or containers. (Note: Server staff such as admins and moderators bypass this restriction.)
- Custom Tooltips: Hovering over a weapon reveals a custom interface detailing the owner’s name, the current number of zombies slain, and total legacy kills. NEW: Added an experience bar to the tooltip.
Weapon Evolution & Damage Scaling
As you slay the undead, your weapon levels up. You will receive a visual green up-arrow and an auditory level-up notification when you cross a threshold. The weapon gains +5% damage per level, maxing out at a massive 150% damage at Level 10. You can track your progress through the weapon’s tooltip.

Important Mechanics & Notes
- Death Penalties: If your character dies, the server automatically releases all of your claims. The weapon loses its ownership and scaling damage, though it will retain its "Total Kills" as a legacy stat for the next survivor who finds it.
- Lost Weapons: If you lose your weapon or it gets destroyed, you can use the self-service "Release a Stuck Signature Weapon" menu in your inventory to free up your claim slot.
- Renaming & Unclaiming: You can freely rename or unclaim your held signature weapon at any time through the standard context menu.
CHANGELOG (v1.2)
Added:
- Infinite Sharpness (Sandbox Option): New toggle on the Signature Weapons settings page, disabled by default.
Fixed:
- Weapon Head Durability: Signature weapons consisting of a handle and head attachment will now have infinite durability.
- Level-Up Alerts: Fixed an issue where one player’s weapon leveling up would show the level-up text and play the level-up sound for every player on the server, with nearby players hearing it twice. The green up-arrow text and jingle now appear only for the weapon’s owner.
- Kill Count Drift on Tooltips: Fixed an issue where other players could inflate a weapon’s displayed kill count until the next sync.
