By Chrzanu
You want to kill every zombie you'll see in PZ on day one? Trust me, you'll never go back to some stinky Blunt weapons.

1. Start as lumberjack
It's a 25% faster attacks with axes, +2 to axe skills and +1 strength.
2. Find Fire Department or any place where you can get any axe
Fire axe is great, one handed axe is good if your main weapon breakes, and if you found a Pick Axe, you are golden.
3. Start fighting
This way you are god of this game, every zombie dies in one or two hits, and every axe (except this stone garbage) is durable enough to on day one clear at least 50-100 zombies.
4. (optional) Get some lvls in Nimble
Nimble on 4/5 should be enough for most fights to not even leave combat stance whole time
5. You got to cocky and died
You get in 1v5000 in west point, kill so many you can't even count them, and then got bitten from behind and you die.
6. Come back and tell me i'm wrong
No, short blades suck, and crowbar isn't best weapon in the game just because it's durable, get yourself a shovel or baseball bat, you can find 20 more in no time if you know where to look.

Man, you made 3 comments about every weapon class, under shitpost xD

Warning: long comment

All weapons can be made viable:

- Axes hit hard (and I mean VERY hard, that is probably why they are so highly regarded), but also drain stamina quickly if your character isn't strong enough, and some prefer to save them for the trees (except for the pickaxe ofc);

- Short blades are awesome when you have high enough nimble level because they don't slow you down as much as other weapons. Backstabbing and jawstabbing are just the icing on top;
- Long blades make you a powerhouse in the battle, but are rare and you can't get any skill boosts for them;

- Short blunts are laying everywhere so you can practically never run out of them. You can easily get +125% exp for just being a construction worker, which makes them the go-to weapon class in terms of reaching lvl 10;

- Long blunts are all-rounders - medium to high damage, good to exceptional durability, medium swing speed and good range. Aside from that, they don't have anything special going for them (it's not a bad thing tho);

- Spears are goated if you have high maintenance and carpentry skills because just like short blunt - you can never run out of them, and like short blades - they can insta kill zombies no matter how exerted/wounded you are. They have exceptional crit rate, but are very flimsy to balance it out;

- And finally, my favourite - firearms. Sure, you can go very far with melee, but the sheer amout of power and versitility coming from firearms makes them really good, with the main tradeoff being the limited ammunition. The damage is not remotely affected by exhaustion/exertion (and the only thing that affects is, panic, can be managed by just keeping distance, especially with a scope). Even my 0 strength 0 fitness characters can easily take on hordes of >500 zeds with minimal risk (provided you have the ammo for it).

All in all, it's worth checking out every weapon class, as they are all interesting to play with :D

the fact that you cant put a military boot on a spear is proof that its the superior weapon, not this axe nonsense

crowbar is better because i can be gordon freeman

i got 100 kills with the bread knife i wasn't doing a challenge run it or anything it just seemed to be the only weapon spawning

Sorry, but it is my opinion, and as we all know everything I say is objectively true, and you can't argue with it, so you all are wrong because I said you are.

Crowbar does triple crit if i'm not mistaken. But we all know SPOON is best weapon.
