Melee weapons are the backbone of early survival. They preserve ammunition and let you clear weak enemies while saving guns for bosses, infected groups, and PVP threats.

Ranged weapons become more important in Quarantine Zone and Military Base routes. Carry enough ammunition to finish the objective and still escape if enemies stack at an exit.

Throwables solve clustered enemies and cover problems. Do not waste them on isolated targets when a melee weapon or pistol shot can do the job.
