Melee Weapons

Fire Axe
The Fire Axe is arguably the strongest melee combat attack in the game, it is currently the strongest for survivors. The Fire Axe has a high maximum hit percent for a melee weapon, 40%, can deal 3 damage, and, while it doesn't have a high find rate, is found in many various places, like the Knife.

Cricket Bat
The Cricket Bat is a singularly uninteresting melee weapon. While it is one of the few that does 3 damage, its low accuracy and the fact that it's almost assuredly found only in Mall Sports Stores limit how often it is used.

Length of Pipe
Length of Pipe is a singularly unique item in the game, specifically it is an infinite use item that can be used up. When used as a melee weapon the Length of Pipe never runs out of uses, however when used to duplicate the construction skill it can only be used once and is removed from the player's inventory. It is one of the only two items in the game with such a dual use, the other is the Flare Gun.

Firearms
Guns are strange when it comes to the territory of infinite use items, while they can make use of other items, and it is required for them to be used as intended the guns themselves are not limited in number of times used. There is one exception to this, the Flare Gun which disappears from your inventory after a single use.
Pistol
The Pistol is one of three firearms in the game, once found it has infinite uses but is only really useful when ammo is provided for it.

Shotgun
The Shotgun, like the pistol, is one of three firearms in the game, once found it has infinite uses but is only really useful when ammo is provided for it.

Non-Combat Items
Items that aren't used in combat but have infinite uses, each item in this section has it's own unique intricacies.
Crucifix
The Crucifix is quite possibly the only item in all of Urban Dead without a use or ability.

Wire Cutters
Wire Cutters were once an item in the game that existed for the purpose of cutting padlocks and chains on some buildings, after some time in 2005, the first year of the game's existence, wire cutters have been completely useless due to all such padlocks and chains having been cut. Since mid September 2007 there have been no reported cases of Wire Cutters found and it may be possible that they have been removed from the game. If this is true they may be the first, and currently only, item to ever be removed.

Binoculars
Binoculars are, as of current, the only item that lets you look outside of the block you are standing in allowing a user to see, from a tall building, a 3x3 section of the map in any direction.

DNA Extractor
The DNA Extractor is one of the most modified items in the game having been subject to at least 3 upgrades since it's implementation. The current version allows you to use it on a zombie stack and comes back with the profile, a warning if the zombie has brain rot, and a link to "Revivify This Specimen" for the first unscanned zombie in the stack. At server reset every zombie in the game is marked as unscanned.

Flak Jacket
The Flak Jacket is a passive effect item, as such simply having it in your inventory will cause it's effect to be active, attempting to use the Flack Jacket does nothing. Flak Jackets provide a blanket 20% damage reduction, since the only items in game that deal 5 damage or more are all firearms this item has no effect on melee combat.
