A Can Opener is a tool primarily used for opening food cans.

Overview[]

Can openers allows players to open canned foods without losing between 10% and 30% of the food as spillage via smashing open. While either a Knife or Hatchet will also allow the player to open a can without spillage, a Can Opener is only used to open cans. Using a Can Opener allows the player to preserve those tools' condition for other uses. Using a Can Opener also allows the canned food to be eaten and yield a Recycled Can after consumption, whereas smashing the can open will not.

A Can Opener will degrade by 2% each time it is used. The Can Opener will not degrade in any other circumstances.

A Can Opener can be harvested for 1 unit of Scrap Metal.

It can also be repaired 1 unit of Scrap Metal. Repairing restores 25% condition and takes 45 minutes.
