Another great aspect is deteriorating weapons. Not only do weapons become less effective over time, but we could actually see our tools of destruction falling apart before our eyes. One mace we used had bent and missing nails, prompting us to find a new one. Also, one strategy (usually inspired by desperation) is throwing melee weapons to either finish or slow down approaching zombies. Guns are few and far between; and when purchased, rather expensive.It's clear that Deep Silver wants to place gamers in a situation where high powered rifles and buckets of ammo aren't simply lying around, and on an island resort this definitely makes sense.
