Equipment

The Axe: A simple weapon. Hits at a rate of 40% accuracy when fully skilled, doing 3 damage per successful hit. This makes the fire axe the only melee weapon you should even bother with, as the kitchen knife, lead pipe, baseball bat, and the crowbar all pale in comparison of performance. However, even then it should be used only as a last-resort killing tool. Only pull this out if you're completely out of ammunition. The reason being is that it's difficult to rip into a victim with full HP, kill them, and still have the APs left to escape.

Handgun: The pistol is a common weapon, scavenged from Police Departments and malls. When fully loaded with a pistol clip, it contains six rounds of ammunition, for 5 points of damage per successful shot. When fully trained, you have a 65% chance of success for sinking a bullet into your intended target. The pistol is without a doubt, the most cost-effective weapon in regards to being easy to scavenge, having the most ammo capacity, and still doing more damage than that rusty axe you've been carrying around.

Shotgun: A personal favorite, the shotgun is a real crowd-pleaser. When its twin chambers are fully loaded, and you're fully trained on it, you have 65% accuracy and deal a whopping 10 points of damage per shotgun blast that meets your victim. You can pick'em up at Police Departments, malls, and on occasion, Arms (bars). There are two downfalls to this weapon: the lack of ammo capacity and the AP needed to keep one well-fed with shotgun shells. However, the upside is the heavy damage inflicted, as it deals double the damage a handgun round would inflict.

There are other weapons at a survivalist Zombie Hunter's disposal, however, due to their various downfalls, these three killing instruments are the only ones you should bother with. Unless you've made some sort of bet, and after several beers you and a buddy get into wager about who can kill the most people with a kitchen knife, there's not any real reason to stray outside the trio I've listed unless it's simple personal preference. Maybe you just like lead pipes and flare guns.

However, do keep a crowbar around. Even if you're never going to use it as a weapon. It has its uses.
