Hunting Knife melee

The Hunting Knife is a finisher, not a fighter — devastating from stealth, fragile in a brawl.

Weapon Overview

A short blade with powerful instant-kill potential against unaware or downed zombies.

Durability

Poor. Knives break quickly under sustained use — carry several.

Damage

Low in a stand-up fight; extremely high as a stealth or finishing attack.

Noise

Low as a melee weapon.

Endurance Cost

Very efficient — light and quick to swing.

Multi-Target Potential

Effectively none. This is a strict single-target tool.

Repairability

Poor; treat hunting knives as consumables and keep spares.
