Unlike a human zombies are not wounded easily as they do not need many of the key processes of the body that a normal human would have. Zombies are basically eating machines they have little to no brain power other than to attack the living by stumbling about with little or no coordination. Zombies in general are unable to use weapons with the exception of the occasional blunt object they primarily attack by biting tearing and scratching. The only effective way to kill a zombie is to destroy the brain or remove the head. Remember to keep this in mind the next time you have a zombie encounter. There are, however, some exceptions to this rule. Please see our species section for more weaknesses specific to each zombie species.
