Items

Melee Weapons

Over the course of the game, you will need to use whatever you can find around you in order to save yourself from the legions of the undead. Some of these items are more useful than others. The most useful of these are detailed below.

Lead Pipe

These are strewn about throughout the mall and are fairly useful in taking out zombies one by one. One hit from the pipe will take out any zombie. The pipe is particularly useful because of its long range. You can find one on the floor of the warehouse next to the elevator, should you ever need it.

Hunting Knife

You can find these all over the place. A zombie will drop one in the hallway leading out of the warehouse. These are quite useful as they are incredibly quick and can allow you to cut a path through a sea of zombies in no time.

Baseball Bat

A pretty handy weapon with its large attack radius and substantial damage. This is a must-have item earlier on in the game. One can be found lying next to the large rack on the roof outside the security room.

Katana

One of the best melee weapons in the game, the katana can kill any zombie in one hit and any psychopath in under ten. For most of the early portion of the game, make sure you have one with you at all times. There is a katana located on the orange overhang outside Colombian Roastmaster's in Paradise Plaza.

Battle Axe

A Powerful weapon capable of slicing through several zombies at once. The battle axe is located in Ned's Knickerbackery in the Entrance Plaza. It has limited health, but it can really cut down the hordes of zombies in your path with little trouble.
