      Never understood that about the walking dead. Gasoline stops being vital after 3-6 months, so years into the apocalypse and everyone’s driving cars, and Daryl has that sweet frankenbike. What are those things running on?

      I’d swap the flashlight for the body armour - easier to find a flashlight out and about.

      I was thinking about the german shephard… regardless if it’s trained or not, it’s a liability, it might become a zombie too.

      And I chose the AK-47 because I thought it came with at least 1 round of ammo 🤷.

        I like the idea of everything is best-case. So a trained pup, a loaded gun with couple of boxes of spare ammo, a new jeep with a full tank, etc.

    Almost nobody picks the katana. Even the people who pick it mocking the sword!

    I can’t really blame them because they didn’t give you the option to pick the complete set for the katana to shine. If you use it with fedora you can teleport behind the zombies and kill them!

    Nobody knows that the katana has this hidden skill bonus if you use it with fedora because this hidden mechanic only passed to the few chosen people in the secret society hidden under the house that people like to call “the basement”

      Man, the katana would be a great pick if there wasn’t two better melee options that’ll outlast the katana and offer more utility.

      I considered the katana since they’re great for cutting exposed areas but honestly I’d rather just sharpen a long stick

    Gas will expire eventually and you could just hotwire one of the many abandoned cars anyways, if the roads aren’t blocked by said cars. Bullets will run out unless you find a gun shop, in which case you get guns anyways. Water purifying is easy enough to do without a machine.

    My picks would be German Shepherd, Axe, First Aid, and Radio.

    There’s a reason we domesticated dogs, they are useful in so many different ways like hunting, defense, and security (and companionship). Especially German Shepherds, you can see the damage they do when used by police.

    Axes are survivalist 101 and some are practically multi tools despite being simple.

    First Aid because infections, zombie or not, are the real killers throughout history.

    The radio’s more of a gamble, but it’s your best chance to find a new settlement, monke strong together and all that. Also you can maybe stay informed on what’s happening in other parts of the country. (And it lets me flex my Amateur Radio License).

      I think I’d take the night vision goggles over the radio. You’re much more likely to find a radio. Situational awareness at night will be a huge survival factor.

    Body armor, first aid kit, machete, water purifier.

    If you choose anything that requires fuel or electricity/batteries you’re fucked.

    • Armor, provided it comes with a helmet & is bite-/scratch-resistant
    • Doggo, because sensing danger is important & loneliness would almost be a bigger killer than zombies,
    • Machete, as a tool & method of defense
    • Water purifier, provided it doesn’t require an outlet of some kind

      And then scavenge around a city, getting an axe, a flashlight, a first aid kit, a bicycle (not motorbike because fuel), a survival kit (matches/flint, compass, etc.) and some survival guidebooks such as general survival guide or foraging guide. Now you’re all set for making a shelter in the woods and staying away from everything, making occasional trips to the city for supplies. Maybe you’ll even manage to make a kinda comfy home up a tree or something.

    Depends where you live. A lot of this stuff can be acquired afterwards.

    As an Aussie, firearms are very hard to come across. Also, I’ve never fired a gun before, so I would pick the shotgun because I know my terrible aim would be mitigated somewhat.

    Water purifier. Duh.

    Fire axe. Utility + weapon.

    Tent. I live close to nature, so my game plan is to stock up on nonperishables and go camp for as long as I can, and hope that the zombies have thinned out by the time I need to start savaging

      The best way to survive a disaster is to have someone else deal with it
