Rock- The worst weapon in the game. Takes three hits to kill one zombie. The rock can be more effective, if launched while crouching down. Manual: "Counsellors start out armed only with stones. They are the weakest weapon."
 
Knife- A step up from the rock. Takes two hits to kill zombies. You no longer have to crouch down in order to hit enemies. Every counsellor should have on of these at one point in the game. Manual: "More powerful than stones. They have a greater effect when used against an enemy"
 
Machete- The most versatile weapon in the game. I like using this weapon over the axe because it travels faster through the air. You can find the machete by beating Jason's mother on the first day. If ANY counsellor kills 60 enemies, the machete will appear in the air. See the secrets section for more details. I prefer the machete over the axe. Manual: "You can cut down most of the enemies with just one stroke of this powerful weapon."
 
Axe- This item takes 1 full life off of Jason every two hits. Based solely on power. I would strongly consider letting a counsellor who hangs out by the lake to go and grab this item. The Axe can be found in Jason's Mothers lair (on day 1 only) if the counsellor defeats his mother with the Machete. It can also be retrieved in the secret cabins located in the forests. In that case, it would just appear in the room. Manual: "One of Jason's favorite weapons and even more deadly than the machete."
 
Torch- The 2nd most powerful weapon in the game. Like most undead creatures, Jason is extremely susceptible to fire, and the torch will do damage against him. If all the fireplaces have been lit, the torch will appear randomly on the trails or in the large cabins. After finding the torch, you NEED to keep the fireplaces lit to keep the torch aflame. Manual: "One of the more powerful weapons. You need the fireplaces lit, in order to keep it burning."
 
Pitchfork- This is the most powerful weapon in the game. Gained by defeating Jason's mother on day 3. There is only one pitchfork in the entire game. Use it wisely. Also worth noting. The pithfork flies straight through enemies if you throw it on the trail. Thus making it more effective. Manual: "The one weapon that can really harm Jason. Use it to finish him off once and for all."
