00:00Weapons in The Walking Dead
00:03The Hatchet of Rick Grimes
00:05Michonne's Katana
00:06Negan and Lucille
00:08The iconic characters of The Walking Dead
00:12all carry weapons that tell you
00:13everything you need to know about their owner
00:15In Overkill's The Walking Dead
00:18the same is true of your four
00:19playable survivor characters
00:21Each of them, Heather, Aiden
00:23Maya and Grant
00:25have skills and gear unique to their class
00:28Heather, the scout, is your stealth expert
00:30Like Dwight in the comics or the TV show's
00:33resident stealthy badass
00:34Heather carries a compound crossbow
00:36that will eliminate enemies silently
00:39She also carries a suppressed sidearm
00:41and smoke grenades, which are perfect for
00:43concealing your team's movement under fire
00:45Grant, a hunter, is a tanky
00:47sharpshooter who comes with a scoped and
00:49suppressed hunting rifle that will take out
00:50threats from a distance
00:51In terms of the comics, think of him as a hybrid
00:54of Dale and Andrea
00:56Grant's skill as a hunter also allows him to
00:58call out targets for his team
01:00marking your enemies for extra damage
01:02Grant's throwable object is the Molotov Cocktail
01:05great for blanketing your enemies in satisfying flames
01:10Maya is a former surgeon and functions as the team's support class
01:14In the books, experienced medical personnel are extremely valuable
01:18and almost never venture outside the communities
01:21but Maya is needed on the street
01:23Where the other characters have throwable grenades
01:25Maya deploys medbags to her teammates to heal them quickly
01:28and keep them in the fight
01:31Pro tip
01:32In heavy firefights, use Heather's smoke grenade
01:35to let Maya move back and forth between downed players safely
01:39Aiden is the classic tank in the style of Tyrese, Abraham
01:42and even Negan with his modified baseball bat
01:45Aiden also carries a suppressed shotgun as his default
01:48good for dealing heaps of damage at close range
01:52Aiden's throwable object is a homemade flashbang grenade
01:55perfect for distractions or softening up human enemies
01:58before your team begins an all-out assault
02:02Individually, there's a class for any player
02:04but the characters' abilities and weapons really shine
02:07when used together to beat the living and the dead
02:09It's also worth mentioning that each of your playable characters
02:12will start with a signature weapon in loadout
02:14but you don't have to stick with it if you don't want to
02:17In Overkill's The Walking Dead you have access to over 50 weapons
02:21from small handheld knives to high-powered sniper rifles
02:24and compound crossbows
02:26Every weapon you buy or find in this world has strengths and weaknesses
02:29and they will all break down over time
02:31In the world of The Walking Dead
02:33a gun will put you in danger as many times as it will save your life
02:37The best survivors are well-versed in melee combat
02:40and can wield a variety of deadly handheld weapons
02:43The swift and deadly can wield an arsenal of knives
02:46from scaffolds to surgical saws to bayonets
02:49Remember, a melee weapon never runs out of ammunition
02:53so pick a favorite and get to swinging
02:56Melee weapons are great to use against walkers
02:58but a good gun will keep you alive
03:00against the scavengers and bandits of the world who want your stuff
03:04Once you're in the game you can customize a variety of weapons
03:08You can equip them with a range of attachments
03:10from scopes to suppressors and compensators
03:13If you do use a gun make sure to find and attach a matching suppressor
03:19Know your surroundings if you fire a gun without a suppressor
03:23Walkers will be drawn to the sound
03:25and you can find yourself boxed in if you're not careful
03:27Keep an eye on your weapons and maintain them too
03:29or you may find your gun jamming at the worst possible moment
03:33The streets of post-apocalyptic Washington DC are dangerous and unforgiving
03:37Once you head out into the wild you will become a target
03:40for both the walkers and the humans still in the city
03:43who will do anything to stay alive
03:45Don't be afraid to experiment
03:46Find a class and weapon that fits your particular play style
03:50and work as a team with your fellow players
03:53If you can do that, you may just have a shot at surviving the apocalypse
