An axe is a two-handed melee weapon.

Usage

Weapon

The axe is also a multi-attack weapon, capable of hitting two zombies at a time in a swing. It is a two-handed weapon that has a max damage of 2.5, making it the third strongest tool in the game behind the pistol and the sledgehammer.

The axe has a chance to kill zombies in a single, well-charged hit, making it useful for close-quarter combat. It has the advantage of having a greater damage output and durability compared to other tools, making it a great weapon alongside its uses as a tool. Its disadvantage is that it has a long recovery time between swings, leaving the player vulnerable when surrounded.

Breaking doors

It is very effective at breaking down doors, dealing 35 damage per hit.

Chopping trees

The axe is an ideal harvesting device to cut down trees (also 35 damage) to collect logs which can be cut with a saw to create wood planks.

Crafting

The axe can be used to slice open a watermelon.

Distribution

Axes are quite rare in the game, but are found most often in storage crates, which are usually in warehouses and storage facilities. The hardware store in West Point, KY and Riverside, KY are a very good place to pick up a few axes and other useful tools relatively early in the game. Axes begin spawning on Zombie's backs with a very low chance after 15 days survived. Axes can sometimes be found in fire stations, abandoned fire department vehicles, as well as in park ranger vehicles. There is also a chance of obtaining axes by looting barricaded buildings or sheds/garages.
