Weapons, ammo, and Specializations

Many different weapons can be found throughout State of Decay under two main categories, Melee, which are weapons used for hand-to-hand combat, and firearms, which are used for ranged combat. Guns make noise, and some are louder than others. The noise will attract zombies in different quantities, depending on how loud they are. suppressors can be attached to muffle sound, making them much quieter, but not entirely silenced. Some weapons, like Revolvers and high-caliber rifles, cannot attach a suppressor.
