Which one should you carry?

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
- Swap either one out as soon as you find a Hammer, Frying Pan or Baseball Bat.
- Brace the door first. A weapon is for when the barricade fails.
- Check the item card for Damage and Reach on anything tagged Weapon.
