The 10 Best Weapons on The Walking Dead (Lucille Is #3)

by

In the world of “The Walking Dead”, the aim of the game is staying alive amidst constant threats. Zombies lurk around every corner, and the remaining humans often prove more dangerous than the undead. Fortunately for his group, Rick Grimes’ background as a policeman equips them with knowledge on weapon usage and resourcefulness. Characters in “The Walking Dead” tend to favor pistols due to their ease of use and effectiveness; knives also come in handy when there isn’t time to reach for a gun during close encounters. However, even with this basic equipment, characters can still lose crucial battles despite years of experience.

In the universe of The Walking Dead, firepower is indeed vital, leading numerous characters to master powerful weapons. Over the course of its 11 seasons, ten of these characters distinctly demonstrate their ability to make an impact among the masses.

10) Sasha Williams’ Sniper Rifle

In the television series “The Walking Dead,” character Sasha Williams experiences numerous hardships, including losing several romantic partners and her brother Tyrese. Despite these tragedies, she discovers her proficiency with firearms. As the story progresses, Sasha takes up a sniper rifle in the later seasons, employing it to protect Alexandria against walkers and the forces of Negan Smith.

9) Aaron’s Mace

Initially serving merely as a recruiter, Aaron transformed into one of Alexandria’s most formidable fighters. The loss of his arm added complexity to his life, but he overcame this challenge by obtaining a prosthetic limb equipped with a mace accessory. In the conflict against the Whisperers, he wielded this prosthetic to vanquish both human and undead adversaries.

8) Merle Dixon’s Prosthetic Arm

As a film enthusiast, I can’t help but reflect on the captivating character of Merle Dixon from “The Walking Dead.” Unlike my dear brother Daryl, Merle suffered an unfortunate fate – losing his arm during their initial struggles in Atlanta. This limb-less predicament didn’t halt Merle’s resilience; instead, Rick Grimes left him stranded on a rooftop.

Miraculously, Merle found refuge within the walls of Woodbury. In this newfound sanctuary, he was equipped with a remarkable prosthetic arm – one that housed a lethal blade at its end. This innovative tool became an extension of his very being, allowing him to eliminate walkers with ease and stir up chaos for Rick’s group time and again.

7) Carol Peletier’s Knife

As a movie buff, I’d say: In the post-apocalyptic world of “The Walking Dead”, knives are generally not the go-to weapons. But Carol Peletier certainly proves otherwise. With her skills sharpened over time, she wields a knife with finger holes, giving her an edge that lets her handle almost any threat efficiently.

6) Morgan Jones’ Staff

Following Rick’s radio being misplaced, Morgan Jones becomes increasingly anxious as he waits for his return. Moved by compassion, a benevolent man named Eastman offers guidance to him on how to navigate a turbulent world with tranquility. Over time, Morgan adopts a staff not only for managing walkers but also demonstrates its effectiveness in subduing unruly individuals.

5) Shiva

In the universe of “The Walking Dead”, things become more bizarre when Ezekiel Sutton arrives. He serves as the leader of a community called the Kingdom. Though it’s evident that his entire demeanor is a disguise, Ezekiel cuts an imposing figure as a monarch, given he possesses a tiger named Shiva. This formidable creature assists the Kingdom in its battles against Negan, devouring many of his men.

4) Daryl Dixon’s Crossbow

Daryl Dixon stands prepared for whatever life brings him. Though he doesn’t discuss his past professional background, his skill with a crossbow, honed from his passion for hunting, is remarkable. He consistently uses this weapon throughout the series, taking out both living and dead adversaries from considerable distances. The reason the crossbow isn’t the most effective weapon on The Walking Dead lies in its reloading process.

3) Lucille

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but admire Negan’s knack for creating an indelible impact. It all begins with his distinctive choice of weapon – a menacing baseball bat adorned with barbed wire, affectionately named Lucille. This brutal instrument has left quite a trail, reducing numerous skulls to pulp, including Glenn Rhee’s unfortunate fate. When someone in The Walking Dead catches sight of Lucille approaching, they instinctively opt for a swift exit.

2) Michonne’s Katana

As a diehard movie enthusiast, I’d boldly claim that among all the characters in “The Walking Dead,” it’s Michonne who steals the show with an entrance that puts Negan’s to shame. She strides in, katana in hand, followed by a horde of undead chained up behind her. In this apocalyptic world, Michonne’s sword is not just another weapon; it’s a symbol of survival and power. Its long blade enables me to sever heads from bodies without having to get too close for comfort, while its hilt serves as an effective stunner when I need to knock someone out.

1) Rick Grimes’ Revolver

In the series “The Walking Dead,” it’s essential that the main character isn’t carrying an ordinary handgun, so they equip him with a Colt Python revolver instead. This imposing weapon is a constant sight on Rick’s hip throughout the show and has dispatched numerous enemies. Although there are other weapons in “The Walking Dead” that could be more effective, none can inflict as much damage as Rick’s trusty revolver.

The Walking Dead is streaming on Netflix.
