Which one should you carry?
Take the Baseball Bat: it beats the Kitchen Knife on both numbers, by a wide margin.
Your hotbar is only four slots shared with water and tools, so carry one weapon, not both. See the weapons page for every card and the best weapon page for our full tier list.
Tips
- The knife turned up around Day 4 to 5 in two runs, so it's a stopgap until you find something stronger.
- Brace the door first. A weapon is for when the barricade fails.
- Check the item card for Damage and Reach on anything tagged Weapon.
