2012! The prefered way of elimination!

[Deep One]

I dunno... seems like melee weapons, while easy to acquire, aren't exactly the best choice either, as using them carries a high risk of infection. You have to get very close to a zombie to use them and not only will it try to bite you, you'll also get it's highly infectious blood splattered all over you if you hit it...

One word: Katana.


For real, katanas are sharp as hell, and they're decently long; taking down foes wouldn't be much of a hassle, which it would've if you had, say, a knife or a hammer.

And they slice clean. :d

Using katana properly and effectively wouldn't be so easy... Blunt melee weapons would not cause infernal rain of zombie blood and guts and they would be easier to use.
