 ==Tool Comparison==
 These items were built for non-violent purposes rather than for whacking zombies. You can wield them as improvised weapons, although you can't expect much from them, they work much better to do what they were made for. Note that none of them are {{MetaInline|Heavy object|displayname=heavy}}, and all of them are melee weapons, which means that you can't wield them while you're {{MetaInline|Exhausted}}.

 ==Battery-powered Comparison==
 Batteries are versatile. They can power up small machines, or even used as ammunition. Relatively common, they are an excellent resource for your zombie-killing needs. They have a bad tendency of running out quickly or getting {{MetaInline|Crushed Battery|displayname=Crushed}}, so have it in mind out there.
 ==Water-based Comparison==
 Water kill zombies. That would be good news if you weren't stuck in a stinking {{MetaInline|World Beyond|displayname=Desert}}. You can still sacrifice your town's {{MetaInline|Water Ration|displayname=Drinking water}} to take out a few zombies with it. Just beware of {{MetaInline|Dehydrated|displayname=Dehydration}}
 ==Grenade Comparison==
 If you need to take down groups of zombies, this is what you're looking for. Grenades can be thrown out at zombies, taking down a few of them. How many depends on your weapon and your luck. Just remember that, as you could expect, a grenade can only be used once.
 ==Melee Comparison==
 If you want to go toe-to-toe with a zombie, this is what you need. Zombies are stupid and clumsy, but resistant. They won't harm you, but you may fail and your weapon might break. Choose your weapon carefully.
 ==Furniture==
 It looks good in your home and it makes you feel comfortable. But you can also whack a zombie in the head with it. Just watch out, furniture is {{MetaInline|Heavy object|displayname=Heavy}} and can break easily.
 ==Animals==
 There are a few other inhabitants in the {{MetaInline|World Beyond}}, other than zombies and humans. You can catch one and have them to keep you company. Most of them are poor pets, though. You can throw them at a zombie to "distract" it, but chances are that you won't see your companion again. You can also build the {{MetaInline|Butcher}} to get food from them instead.
