Location

Overview
As well as being an effective melee weapon, it is one of the two melee weapons in the game which allows players to chop down trees for logs. The Axe's power attack consumes 25 stamina (without the Endurance perk) and inflicts 1.5 times as much damage as a regular attack.
Analysis
Advantages
- Deals decent damage-per-hit, and with only one point spent in Warrior is capable of killing civilian zombies with a single normal attack to the head, or military zombies with a single power attack to the head.
- Has long range, making it much safer to use than most other early melee weapons.
- Can chop down trees for logs, sticks and branches making it a necessity.
Disadvantages
- Slow attack speed, making it less effective at dealing with groups quickly.
- Heavier than the Fire Axe or Chainsaw despite not being able to chop down trees as quickly as them.
- Stat-wise, it is inarguably inferior as a melee weapon to several other common weapons.
