Overview[1]
The Tumbleweed was a Junk item that could previously be found in Dead Rails.
A stereotypical desert Tumbleweed, it could be used as Fuel but provided almost none. It used to spawn to the left of the first Fortified Town., Due to its size, it could block doorways like a Barrel. This was ineffective unless the Tumbleweed was being held due to the spherical shape making it easy to push around.

Patch history
The Tumbleweed used to sell for $50, however it was later patched. This was likely for testing purposes. The Tumbleweed doesn't show a description when hovering the crosshair over it, similar to the Camera. The Tumbleweed used to be in the first Fortified Town but now it got removed. The Tumbleweed was the only item in Dead Rails, as of the latest update, to be made out of only 2D decals. It was one of the few items that are unique, along with Vampire Knife or Jade Sword. It was also one of the formerly 5 Items that spawn at the first Fortified Town. The other 4 are the 3 Newspapers and the Gold Bar. Many of this Item's quirks were due to it not being intended to spawn. It was presumably left over from developer testing. The Tumbleweed is technically among the 4 rarest items in the game, tying with the Strange Machine, Strange Mask, and Jade Sword. The reason is that the other unique Items could have been spawned in the now removed Fool's Gold (Gamemode) or spawned by classes such as the Vampire Knife with the Vampire (Class). Despite being "rare", this it is by far the easiest unique Item to get.
