Screwdriver. One-shot kills, lightweight, plentiful, and doesn't break TOO easily.

Ok, sugar is right, screw driver. I just saw where someone said screwdrivers have like 70 hits and knives just 20. Looks like I'm hoarding screw drivers.

You mean wood glue? :P

That said, good ol' stabby is safer than axes outside of buildings. Jaw stab > crawler surprise.

Screw driver and knives are insta-death for zombies. One punch power. Why swing an axe multiple times at one enemy when you can kill 50-70 of them with a screwdriver

use knifes to get your blade skill up and then you can one hit 2+ zombies with one axe swing

It takes a lot of accuracy though. My 10 strength brawler lumberjack with 1200 blade kills usually doesn't one hit K.O. at full endurance, and every injured zombie is a potential crawler :/

1200 blade kills and here I am who killed at least 50 of them before dying :/

Don't worry you get better ;) Used to never make it past two weeks. Being currently unemployed and playing games all day helps :D

time the distance right and you can one hit with the axe at low lvl but it helps to have accuracy.

get the distance right and you can one hit with a spiked bat couple game hours after you start

To be fair, I did not include Hunting Knives in that list because it was just a comparison between screwdriver and kitchen knives... but Hunting Knives are even better.

They have the same weight as kitchen knives (0.3 vs 0.4 for screwdrivers)... and they have a 1/20 chance to loose durability for an average 200 hits!

As for the other post I made, this information is from the wiki and I express no warranties on the accuracy (in fact, I made way back a note on the rain collectors showing some innacuracy).

Still prefer axes because to get a one hit kill with a knife you have to let them in really close. Try doing that with a group tightly bundled together and you will get bit or scratched. With high points in blade you get quite a few one hit kills and at worst it still knocks them down.

As far as crawlers I seem to get more of those with guns then anything.

And no I didn't mean wood glue. I meant the mod craftable axes. I suspect he messed with the durability to make them last longer because they seem to last forever. Hedge trimmers in Hydrocraft are pretty amazing too. And yes they are both mods so def not vanilla weapons. If I'm in a pinch though I usually grab a kitchen knife because they are plentiful but only because I never really tried screwdrivers.
