Weapons: Melee & Firearms

Master Project Zomboid's weapons. Learn the strengths of blunt weapons like the Baseball Bat and sharp weapons such as the Axe for zombie survival.

Weapons are your primary defense against the undead. Melee weapons are common and quiet, while firearms are powerful but noisy. Choose your weapon based on the situation and your skill level.

Melee Weapons:

• Blunt: Baseball Bat, Crowbar, Lead Pipe. Good for crowd control and knocking down zombies.
• Sharp: Axe, Machete, Kitchen Knife. High damage, but less effective against multiple targets.
• Long Blunt: Spear, Shovel. Offer good reach. Spears can be crafted and are expendable.

Firearms:

• Pistols: M9, M1911. Low damage, high rate of fire. Good for single targets.
• Shotguns: JS-2000, Double Barrel Shotgun. Devastating at close range, excellent for clearing groups.
• Rifles: M16, M14. High damage, good range. Best for precision shots.

Always carry a backup melee weapon, even if you prefer firearms. Ammunition is finite, and melee weapons never run out of 'ammo'.
