Prefer a more hands on approach?

Tired of having to find or craft ammo? Don’t worry about it. Melee weapons will always have your back. Besides, what fun is a zombie apocalypse without splitting open some heads!!

There are lots of different melee weapons in 7DTD. While all are fun to smash zombies with, some are more effective than others. Here’s a rundown of some of the best.

5. Baseball Bat

Body Image

There's no crying in the Apocalypse!!

Don’t underestimate the power of a baseball bat!! Uses less stamina than other steel weapons and can be modded like crazy! Also, you don’t need a lot of resources to craft one.

Can be crafted after reading Baseball Bat Schematic and purchasing Level 1 of Pummel Pete
Craft using Forged Iron, Wood, Leather and Duct Tape
Vast number of mods to cause more damage, decrease weapon degradation rate or even stun

Crafting requirements:

20 Forged Iron
10 Wood
1 Leather
1 Duct Tape

Full specs of Baseball Bat found here: https://7daystodie.gamepedia.com/Baseball_Bat

4. Steel Spear

Body Image

Don't make me use this!!

The Spear is one of those weapons with multiple uses. If you make one, make sure it is the steel spear. It works great in melee combat, but if you feel the need, you can use it as a ranged weapon and like the baseball bat, you can add countless mods to it.

Can be crafted at a Workbench after reading the Steel Spear Schematic
Increase damage and more with mods

Crafting requirements:

5 Steel Spear Parts
10 Forged Steel
10 Wood
3 Leather
3 Duct Tape

3. Machete

Body Image

This is a knife!!

It’s not just a tool, it can take off heads!! The machete really is a great all around tool. It is the most effective tool for harvesting resources from animals. No longer do you have to carry a weapon and a knife!! It’s also great for dismembering zombies (if you're into that kind of thing).

Can be modded
Can be crafted after reading Machete Schematic

Crafting requirements:

5 Machete Parts
10 Forged Steel
10 Wood
3 Leather
3 Duct Tape

2. Steel Knuckles

Body Image

Brass knuckles? HA!

Steel Knuckles has to be my favorite melee weapon. After a long day at work, what is better than ripping zombies apart with your bare hands. These knuckles don’t require a lot of resources

Can launch a power attack with a right mouse-click

Crafting requirements:

5 Steel Knuckle Parts
10 Forged Steel
3 Leather
3 Duct Tape

Mor info can be found here: https://7daystodie.gamepedia.com/Steel_Knuckles

1. Steel Sledgehammer

Body Image

Looking for the ultimate melee weapon?

Smashy smashy. The steel sledgehammer is both a tool and a weapon. You can do some serious damage to the blocks with it, just keep in mind it isn’t the best tool if you want to get the resources from the block. It is a powerful melee weapon and does the most damage in the game.

Can kill average zombie with one head blow
Chance of dismemberment
Can be crafted after reading Steel Sledgehammer schematic

Crafting Requirements:

15 Steel Sledgehammer Parts
10 Forged Steel
10 Wood
3 Leather
3 Duct Tape

Full specs can be found here: https://7daystodie.gamepedia.com/Steel_Sledgehammer
