The ubiquitous 2×4, (even though it's really 1½"×3½" in real life)*Even more erroneously, this name is also used for 4x4 wood, which are perfectly square and make for perfect improvised clubs found just about everywhere at hardware stores, construction sites, home renovations, garages, and just about anywhere else there's wood to be found. It's an unassuming little item, highly flexible in its possible applications, able to serve as either construction material for building a home, protecting said home against unwanted intrusion... or even an expedient substitute when a baseball bat isn't available. Bonus points if there are nails, screws, bolts or even spikes on the business end for added pain. This weapon is surprisingly prevalent in works involving brawls taking place in a urban setting (especially Beat Em Ups), either in the hands of the good guys or bad guys (usually disposable thug/punks). It's also very common to see in Zombie Apocalypse scenarios which already loves making use of Improbable Improvised Weapons. This trope covers all other kinds of lumber/timber from wooden poles/sticks, boards, planks, and etc. of different shapes and sizes. As long as it's a piece of construction wood and used as a weapon. Other wooden weapons such as Baseball/cricket bats, wooden clubs/maces or staves/spears have their own tropes. Needless to say, a subtrope of Improvised Weapon. While it may seem the same as Carry a Big Stick, it falls more under Improbable Weapon User category due to the awkwardness that would be encountered when trying to wield a wooden plank/board as a weapon in its standard form. |

The Splatterhouse series features the 2×4 as a very common available weapon. It naturally returns in the 2010 remake with a much meaner-looking appearance to fit with the remake's Darker and Edgier aesthetic. Instead of being a simple piece of lumber, it's more like one big block of wood that has several smaller pieces of wood nailed to it with railroad spikes and nails, acting more like an Improvised spiky wooden mace, it's a very common weapon to find and is classified as a medium-strength bludgeoning weapon. It was even voted number 95 in IGN's Top 100 weapons in video games list. | |

The wooden plank is an environmental weapon available in Guild Wars 2, it appears to be tapered and even has it's own moveset when used by the warrior class (although the uniqueness is mostly relegated to move names). | |

Tommy Boy: When Richard's car is well and truly ruined thanks to Tommy, he angrily pulls off the highway next to a 'Prehistoric Forest' roadside attraction, and has it out with him. They step out of the car to duke it out, and Tommy lets Richard take his best shot. After a couple of punches have no effect, Richard picks up a 2×4 and smacks Tommy across the face, knocking him cold. Richard looks up and says "Hey, Prehistoric Forest!" | |

The 2×4 is a very common weapon in The Last of Us, and is in fact the first melee weapon you come across. Durability is weak, able to withstand only four hits in its unmodified form before breaking apart, but it proves to be quite common, so another is easy enough to find when facing other humans. Interestingly enough they call it a 2×4 in the game despite the fact that it's clearly square (likely a 4x4). | |

Appears twice in the Silent Hill series. The first weapon James Sunderland equips in Silent Hill 2 is the wooden plank that he rips from a safety barricade, complete with rusty nails stuck in the end. It's narrower than your usual 2×4, looking more like a 2×2 fencing post. He makes use of it when he first encounters a Lying Figure. While obviously weaker than the pipe you receive later in the game, it has the bonus of being much quicker to swing and allowing James to move freely and even run while swinging it. Silent Hill: Book of Memories also features the wooden plank as a weapon. But unlike Silent Hill 2, Book of Memories features the Breakable Weapons system, so it's only a temporary weapon. |

Fallout: Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas features a nailed plank as a common weapon among mutants and raiders, with at least one variant called the "Board of Education". It appears again in Fallout 4 and 76, although very different from most kinds of 2x4 or 4x4 weapons, instead it looks somewhat akin to a cricket bat with even a long relatively thin handle that's wrapped with duct tape for grip. It can be seen often in the hands of the super mutants. Thanks to 4's rather robust weapon customization system you can give your plank different upgrades to make it more viable as a weapon. |

The Wood Board is an available melee weapon in The Last Stand: Union City; it's even described as "good old 2x4". It's a somewhat common weapon to find, and decent when the alternatives are broken tire irons and pocket knives, although you're encouraged to replace it with something better when you have the chance. Later on, you can get a quest for a broken wooden board, some nails and a roll of tape. Completing it nets you the Heavy versionnote added weight and damage of the Nail Board, one of the best weapons in the early game and able to one-shot most zombies with a swing to the head even in mid-game areas. | |

When he goes into an Unstoppable Rage over his wife's death, Lighter has to whack him in the back of the head with it to knock him out. It was the only way to get him to stop attacking the other villagers as they try to comfort him and reign in his fury. | |

Easily one of the more plentiful melee weapons to see in Condemned: Criminal Origins and Condemned 2: Bloodshot, but not only that they come in many different flavors as well. From plain, to ones with bolts or nails through them and even ones that are burning. The last one is especially important as you have to use them in the final levels were you lack a flashlight for illumination | |

This film was of course a remake of Walking Tall (1973) and it's various sequels where Buford Pusser (himself a Real Life example) would smash up the Dixie Mob's moonshine stills with various pieces of lumber. | |

Silent Hill: Book of Memories also features the wooden plank as a weapon. But unlike Silent Hill 2, Book of Memories features the Breakable Weapons system, so it's only a temporary weapon. | |

In "Sins of Commission", while walking through the cemetery, Winter gets hit over the head with a length of wood and knocked out. |

A common weapon to be found in the Yakuza series, usually referred to as "Lumber" (or any other names) and very prevalent. Either as something that can be bought from shops or picked up off the street/floor/wherever the fighting is, to deliver the hurt on some Mooks. It usually comes in a 4x4 shape but it's length either goes from club-like to staff-like (referred to as "Long Lumber"), and as with every weapon have some HEAT moves to deliver some serious pain. Shinada from Yakuza 5 doesn't enjoy the Batter Up! trope, but is willing to use his skills from his baseball career to deliver some mean attacks with blunt weapons. Lumber is one of his preferred weapons, with one of his Revelations showing him use Lumber against a mook. Ichiban's "Hero" class from Yakuza: Like a Dragon, mainly makes use of baseball bats or any other blunt weapons. Which includes two kinds of Lumber, the regular 4x4 or Flaming Lumber. |

In Ash vs. Evil Dead, when getting a rematch with the Deadite-possesed Henrietta (well technically the past version of her), Ash tries to use a wooden plank with some nails hammered through it to fight her, although due to being an undead bloated corpse. All it does is have the nails end up getting stuck to her body. | |

Like many zombie games, Cataclysm has these as a weapon. They're actually quite weak, but they're better than your bare hands (unless you have enough points in unarmed combat) and easy to find (just break some furniture, or have a zombie do that for you). You can also craft a version with nails in it for added damage. | |

The 2×4 is a very common weapon in the Dead Rising series. Thanks to the combo weapon system introduced from 2 and used onward. There are a few combo weapons to be made with the ubiquitous 2" x 4". In 3 Nick can make "Heavy Metal" a combo weapon made with another ubiquitous weapon, the Lead Pipe. Creating a large improvised and very gnarly-looking mace. |

Used impulsively by Rachel Amber in Episode 3 of Life Is Strange: Before the Storm on Damon Merrick after he draws a knife on her in the junkyard in frustration at her asking too many questions about Sera Gearhardt. This ends as you would expect: Damon stabs her in response, and the only reason Rachel survives is a combination of Frank holding Damon off and Chloe frantically driving her to the hospital; James later even notes that a few more minutes and she would have died. | |
