'''Improvised Crampons''' are a [[clothing]] accessory in ''The Long Dark''.<br />
<br />
==Overview==<br />
When worn in the either accessory slot, Improvised Crampons grant the Benefit [[Sure Footing]] which has three effects:<br />
<br />
*Decreases chance of [[Afflictions|sprains]] by 70% when on slopes. (This is a bug, was supposed to be 30% only)<br />
*Decreases drain rate of [[Rope Climbing|climbing]] stamina by 60% (This is a bug, was supposed to be 40% only)<br />
*Increases the (invisible) timer of [[Weak Ice]] by 0.5 seconds (aka 10% more time to move off weak Ice, before falling in) for a total time of 5.5 seconds.<br />
<br />
Crampons are particularly useful in [[Region|regions]] with multiple [[Mountaineering Rope]] climbs, such as [[Timberwolf Mountain]], [[Ash Canyon]], [[Mountain Town]], and [[Hushed River Valley]], or in areas with [[Thin Ice|Weak Ice]] such as [[Forlorn Muskeg]] or when [[Beachcombing]] in regions like [[Coastal Highway]] or [[Bleak Inlet]].<br />
<br />
Improvised Crampons cannot be harvested, and provide lesser benefits compared to [[Crampons|Crampons.]] <br />
<br />
If the player's footwear (shoes and 2 socks slots) are removed (whether by the player or their footwear is ruined) then their Improvised Crampons will automatically be removed, removing the [[Sure Footing]] affliction.<br />
<br />
*Despite being designed to attach to shoes, the player can wear Improvised Crampons on their socks, which should not be possible.<br />
<br />
== Repairing ==<br />
Can be repaired with 2 pieces of [[Scrap Metal]] using [[Simple Tools|Simple]] or [[Quality Tools]] as of Signal Void. Need to be unequipped to repair.<br />
<br />
==Obtaining==<br />
Improvised Crampons, unlike their [[Crampons|non-improvised counterpart]], are craftable as seen below. They cannot be found naturally in the world. (except on Interloper)<br />

== Trivia==<br />
<br />
*Improvised crampons are the only accessory that cannot be found naturally in the world. The [[Moose-Hide Satchel]], while also craftable, can be found naturally in [[Hushed River Valley]] near [[Mysterious Signal Fire]].<br />
