These are all the items that you can use as weapons. Some of them are worth investing in, and some not. If you feel like spending a few bucks for the game, go right ahead and buy whatever sparks your interest, but if you are planning on playing for free and feeling the game as you progress, I do have a few suggestions for you.

First things first: you are going to need some necessary tools. Any knife, axe and shovel you can get your hands on will be a great addition to your arsenal, as they can be used for more than just fighting. You can imagine probably that they can be used in several instances, such as chopping trees or burying bodies.

These are the three mandatory items you should always have nearby. Something else that you could find useful, is a crossbow. Again, the better quality, the better it is; but at start, you’re not able to get the heavy crossbow, so any will do. Ideal for late-game is the heavy crossbow, so try aiming for that.

The best early game weapons I suggest are the ones you make yourself: a good old Molotov cocktail and a gunpowder grenade. These are great because they do quite a lot of damage and, you know, explode (who doesn’t like explosions?).

For the firearms category, I suggest the Makarov handgun and the Mosin-Nagant rifle. Of course, you could also go for the RPK-74 or the PKM if you have them, since their firepower is insane. 

Lastly, if you want to have a little bit of fun, go for the helicopter! Or the tank! I mean, if you have enough fuel to power them and use them, you could have a little bit of fun with them. Else, don’t waste the fuel because you know it’s not easy getting more.

To sum this up, in my opinion, the best weapons in Day R Survival are the heavy crossbow, Mosin-Nagant rifle, and the PKM. If you want to get a couple of Molotovs go right ahead because you can’t go wrong with these. And if you want to waste your fuel but do massive damage, go for the Mi-24 helicopter.
