Combat[ | ]
A Bone Knife is a simple short range weapon and can kill an average Zombie with three direct hits to the head or 13 hits or more to the body. It is more effective against a single Zombie and will not be very effective when dealing with a group of Zombies at close quarters. It can be used very effectively against a single Zombie when combined with the stealth of crouching to launch a sneak attack. There is a chance that this item will cause dismemberment (0 - 0.1).
