In State of Decay, there are many weapons at your disposal which you can use from time to time against different kinds of enemy that you encounter throughout the game. Roughly, there are 99 different types of guns present in the game.
State of Decay Weapons
While the weapons are classified into three main categories:
- Explosive

- Guns
Players can make their own explosives or melee weapons from the comfort of their home base along with finding them across the city. However, when it comes to guns, players must find them spread throughout the city as these can’t be made at home.
