Weapons/Items

Navigation Instructions: Click the link below to get to the place on this page you want to be. Click on any of the hand symbols () to return to this list.

You would think I would list every Item that could be picked up in this section and many more. Sadly, that would be a waste of everyone's time. I will only list the weapons, items, and special items that I feel are worthy of practical use.

Health Items

Apple: heals two blocks; early, found in Security Room.

Coffee Creamer: heals four; found in security room early on, also on the first catwalk in North Plaza.

Orange Juice: heals four; found in Columbian Roastmaster's.

Milk: heals four; found in Food Court.

Chips: heals one; found everywhere.

Must-Have Weapons

Baseball Bat: found on the rooftop; pick this up each time you pass by the roof area. Good for crowds, so a must-have. Also found under first trees in the park. *Charge it up for a home-run*

Hunting Knife: yellow-shirted zombies carry these; one is always in the hall in the warehouse. These are really good, always keep one handy.

Handgun: held by the cop zombies; found all over the place. Good enough for shooting from a distance.

Shotgun: found in the gunshop. Perhaps the best weapon.

Sniper Rifle: found in gunshop. Pretty good, even at short range.

SMG: found in fountain at Al Fresca Plaza, and also in one room in the tunnel underground. Great weapon, a must for the convicts, runs out quickly though. *UPDATE: check the signs above Cam's Camera.*

Machinegun: only taken from dead Special Ops. The best weapon by far. Keep as many as you can carry, no need for other guns.

Decent Weapons (not easy to find, but good)

Chainsaw: found in the hardware store in Al Fresca. Really, really good, but dies way too quickly.

Katana: found in Ned's Knicknackery in Entrance Plaza, and also one is found by jumping out the window of the Roastmaster's in Paradise Plaza. Great sword for a one-hit kill, but sucks for groups and even misses a lot. Okay to take one, I guess.

Lead Pipe: found all over the place. Not the best weapon, but it is quick and is better than nothing.

Hedge Clipper: found all over. Really quick, and a one-hit killer. Pretty good, just none are easy to find.

Sickle: found all over. Hunt one done and use it at least once to get the cool death scene. Other than that, you can pass this up.

Lawnmower: found in park and in the store in North Plaza. Great to use, but just impossibly slow.

Special Weapons

Small Chainsaw: you get two for killing Adam The Clown. Only use for bosses, and if you get really desperate. Kills just about any boss in a few hits. These puppies will respawn next to the ride.

*NOTE: if you got the two books, then use these for everything.*

*NOTE: almost unfair to have access to these things.*

Heavy Machinegun: taken from the convicts' vehicle. The best weapon in the game, but sadly it must be your active weapon to carry it.

Ceremonial Sword: dropped by the cult leader. Really good sword, and lasts a lot longer than the katana. Not a boss-killer, but still good.

Machete: dropped by Cliff. A good blade, but not too good.

Meat Cleaver: dropped by Larry. A blade.

Perfume/Lipstick: found in beauty shops; I think they work pretty good.

Mannequins: really effective, but not cool-looking enough for me.

Books

Engineering: chainsaws, clippers, sickles, more. (Paradise)

Sports: baseball bats, that's all that matters. (Paradise)

Horror: boosts PP gained from killing the undead. (Paradise)

Criminal Biography: anything sharp gets boosted, Small Chainsaws, knives, and anything else boosted with the Engineering book. (Wonderland)

Entertainment: adds life to Small Chainsaws as well. (Paradise)

Health: OJ now heals six, apples heal three, etc. (Wonderland)

Survivor: doubles all healing items' effectiveness. (North Plaza)

Wrestling: boosts your bare fists. (North Plaza)

Photography: dropped by Kent after fight. (Paradise)

Brainwashing Tips: dropped by Sean.
*UPDATE: survivors become more aggressive and can all be given weapons.*

*NOTE: get the Engineering and Criminal books to add life to Small Chainsaws.*

*UPDATE: grab the Entertainment book too.*

And remember, there are countless more items in the mall, you just have to find them all. These are just the ones that are easy to get, or in your way. And don't forget, most items can be thrown.
