Melees

Melees are close ranged weapons and are mostly only going to be used to kill infected nearby you, or if all of your guns are out of ammo.

Melees:

Crowbar - A decent melee that deals medium damage, it can be used to break one crate per round to get an random item that stays only for the round.

Frying Pan - This melee has low damage and an ok attack speed, but it can stun any infected that is not imune to knockback.

Baseball Bat - This is a not very good melee, deals kinda low damage and their attacks are pretty slow, but it can kill the 'Chiller' with only one attack.

Machete - A sharp machete, its worse than the baseball bat on stats, but attacks a bit faster, and it can be used to escape the Tangler's tongue as much as you want. This should be a must use melee if you hate Tanglers.

Sledge Hammer - A big and heavy sledge hammer, deals 125 damage but has a very slow attack speed.

Tomahawk - A battle axe, it deals decent damage and has medium attack speed, its not very good since it has a pretty bad hitbox.

Christmas Sword - Decent weapon, deals low damage but has the fastest attack speed of all the melees.

Nightstick - The most useless melee weapon due to bad hitbox and low damage, but has the fastest attack speed, only beaten by Christmas Sword.

Holiday Ham - This wasn't made for killing zombies but who cares? It deals decent damage and has medium attack speed, you can eat it healing 100 hp per bite.Pitchfork - One of the best melees but sadly it is unobtainable now, this was the reward of the Gift of the Harvester on Christmas 2020. It deals pretty high damage, has pretty fast attack speed and a pretty big hitbox making it perfect for hit and run. Using this with speed armor will make you a high threat. You can also charge by pressing "E" while using this to deal 150 damage to whatever is in your way. Its very recommended to bring this if you are wearing the 'Juggernaut Armor' since it makes you slow, then if there is a lot of zombies nearby you, you can dash away from them.

Snow Shovel (special thanks to: 'CJDJ123qq' for providing info about this item!) - Big snow scooping shovel with decent damage and very fast attack speed, surprisingly it is the only melee with ranged attacks, the attack is called 'Catapult' and when you attack you throw a big snowball that deals 30 damage and obstructs the enemy's vision. The most forgotten melee in the game making it insanely rare, owning this proves that you are a true veteran. Sadly its unobtainable now, it was a reward from the '2019 Holiday Event'.

Katana - (*Ninja vibes*) One of the best melees, deals very high damage and has medium attack speed, it can kill most of the infected with only one hit. The Banshee, Chiller, Riot, Inferno, Bloater, Shaman and Juggernaut can survive a hit, but a few more will result in their death. (Costar6's notes: Become a weeb with this powerful melee!!1111!)
