Weapons are Items that a player can wield to damage and kill creatures in the game.
Weapons can be crafted, looted, and traded for with the Dealer Joe.
Weapons cannot stack in a slot, but a player can equip a weapon in both of their quick access slots.
Weapons have durability that decreases as they are used.
NOTE: The Bow and Zip Gun are some of the easily craft-able guns, the Glock 17 can only be crafted if the player has unlocked the Dead Island for one of the resources, while the M16 can only be crafted if the player has the ATV and the Motorboat. The rest of the guns cannot be crafted since they require Tungsten Bar and (or) aren't present on the Blueprints menu.
For more information on weapons check the Weapons Guide by Salvator24.
List[]
This is a list for known weapons in the game. Please feel free to add weapons as they are discovered in future updates.
Please note that some items such as the Hatchet have additional uses (in this case as a tool). Weapons will display their Damage and Speed statistics in game. In addition, the table lists a Damage Per Second (DPS) statistic. This becomes a more important consideration for targets with over 200 HP or armor, and for quickly comparing weapons, e.g. Spear < Torch < Crowbar < Katana.
Sneaking using melee weapons does triple the damage and thus should always be successfully executed on the first attack on a zombie. Note: This doesn't apply on firearms or any other ranged weapons in ANY case!
