The beginning pistol has a large magazine capacity and is serviceable for a start. Be sure to not overestimate it’s power though, as the strength of the infection only grows stronger.

The shotgun is a great weapon to take out swarms of infected. With less shots than any of the other ranged weapon, this one sure packs a punch with it’s limited ammo!

It might be small compared to other melee weapons, but the army knife is no toy. With quick stabs, it is great to use in isolated combat!
