Weapons

Weapons are a feature in H1Z1.

There are a variety of weapons that can be used in combat, primarily to defend the player against the infected and hostile survivors, but also to hunt animals or harm other players.

Many traditional weapons can be scavenged from where they were left by their previous owners, but sometimes the player has to improvise and use common tools for lethal purposes or has to craft a new one from scratch.

Weapons have a durability property. The durability of an equipped weapon will go down with each use. Players can repair any and all weapons with a weapon repair kit and with a gun repair kit only guns. If a weapon's durability reaches 0, it breaks down and will turn into a broken metal item.

Melee Weapons
Melee weapons are silent and don't require any ammunition to operate.

Ranged Weapons
Ranged weapons require ammunition to damage targets from a distance. Ranged weapons come in many variations such as bows and spears, handguns, shotguns, and rifles.

Explosives
Explosives can be used to blow up spaces, or to provide tactical advantages.
