Weapon Interactions

Information

Below is a table of weapon interactions with the creatures found in Last Day on Earth: Survival. I have not seen a durability rating for weapons so it is not included. This guide will help you breakdown DPS into real-life numbers and picking the right weapons for the right area. An example would be a machete which has 12 more DPS than a shovel. In a green zone filled with roamers and an occasional fast biter, the difference is negligible but in a yellow zone with more hp monsters it matters a lot. Also, sometimes a swing from a higher DPS weapon leaves a small amount of HP left making another swing needed to finish it off making it perform worse than a lower DPS weapon.

The first column will be a list of the weapons. The next section will be the different creatures. Each one is broken down by four categories. One Hit has Y or N for Y if it can be killed with one attack or N if it can't. Critical if it can be killed while sneaking for 3x damage. This will help you decide if you should sneak with the weapon. The Hits column divides the amount of HP of the creature by the damage of the weapon and then rounds up. No one hits for 3.4 times or 5.7 times so it would be 4 or 6 times. Time is how many seconds it is to kill the monster. I divided 1 by DPS for how many times a second it hits for and then multiplied it by the amount of hits needed to kill it.
