Flashlight - to find my shotgun in the dark.
-
Shotgun - Im going to cobain me out of this shit
2 picks gang!
Machete & motorbike.
-
Water purifier - clean water is essential
Fire Axe - for fire wood collection as well as wood based structures for shelter and defense. Also it is a decent weapon that takes relatively little skill to effectively wield.
German Shepard - loyal companionship, will instinctively assist in protection/attacking and could be trained to track game
Body armor - reduces risk of infection through scratches to body as well as mild protection against various weapons.
I’d argue that NVGs would be better than body armor, assuming that the batteries last. Being able to see at times when humans and zombies cant is extremely valuable. Nighttime is tough without working lights.
Modern nvgs aren’t battery powered the way we think any more. They last a while
The problem with NVG and all the battery operated stuff is that once it runs out its useless unless you have a means to recharge it through an offgrid power system and the electrical knowledge to make sure you dont cook them in case of a jerry rigged system. It might be really useful for a good couple hours of operation but after that it becomes useless junk you spend calories or fuel hauling around with the faint hope of maybe being able to recharge it again sometime in the future
Why is a bike not on this list? Fuck a vehicle that needs gas, give me some pedal powe.
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?
- 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
Zombie outbreak and owning a jeep? Now you got two problems!

I’d swap the flashlight for the body armour - easier to find a flashlight out and about.
I’d argue you might need a flashlight to find a flashlight but most homes will at least have a small version that will suffice
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 would opt for the crossbow, machete and axe then use those to commendeer better equipment. Specifically that choice of weapons because axe is useful for chopping trees, machete is a weapon that doesn’t require ammo and it’s a lot easier to make crossbow arrows than bullets. Also take the night vision goggles in the off chance they’re of the super high tech kind and not the ir lighting based kind. Then use that stuff to basically steal everything on this list and more.
Why AK-47? 7.62 × 39 mm would be kinda hard to loot for this audience.
Shotgun, ak-47, pistol, katana. I don’t want to live long term in a zombie apocalypse, just need the firepower for a bit of fun before I go. After I run out of ammo for the shotgun and the AK, I use the pistol to kill myself - the katana is just in case I get caught short at close range
Fast zombies or slow zombies?
My beloved crobaw didnt even make the list :(
Are you from Boston by any chance?
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”
Crossbow, respirator, fire axe, water purifier.
Crossbow can reuse ammunition as long as you can find your bolts, and improvising shitty bolts is simpler than anyvother ranged weapon.
If zombie plague is airborne, full mask respirator is gonna be essential.
Fire axe is a decent survival and breaching tool, not really considering it a weapon.
Water purifier essential so you don’t die of dysentery, or if the zombie plague is waterborne.
If it’s airborne you’re toast, you gotta remove it eventually
It being airborne doesn’t mean its in all air everywhere all the time.
dog x4, ez
I’m fine with three! Tent, Flashlight and Camera. That way I’ll have the easiest way out by being the sidecharacter who gets murdered during the exposition before it all goes to shit.
