That being said, you will need to rely on some firepower from time to time.

One of the best weapons, in that case, is the Peggy hunting rifle.

Its massive damage output is ideal for chunking down higher-health zombies or bosses.

Axes are another staple in zombie games.

Then any zombies that walk through it will also catch fire, resulting in one big bonfire.

It’s a hybrid axe/sledgehammer that fully annihilates zombies in a single blow.
