Weapons are one of the four primary categories of loot in DayZ. Weapons refers to any wield-able item that a player can use to injure or kill wildlife, the Infected, or even other survivors. Weapons also includes ammunition, attachments and magazines used with firearms or other ranged weapons. Most weapons in DayZ are closely modeled after their real-world counterparts and behave as such. There are several types of weapons, organized by their primary combat use.
Melee weapons are items or tools that are used in close-range combat. Since just about any usable object can be used as a makeshift weapon in DayZ, items that are listed in this category either have use only as a melee weapon or deal a significant amount of damage, relative to other items, when used as a weapon.
Ranged weapons are weapons that fire a projectile and are used in mid- to long-range combat. Although all ranged weapons require ammunition in order to function. These weapons are typically the most effective.
