Notes

• Some zombies in Expert Mode and Master Mode appear to wield this item. Such zombies deal more damage and have increased melee range than those not carrying Zombie Arms. However, this does not increase the chances of obtaining the weapon from such zombies.

Tips

• Despite its relatively low drop chance, the high abundance of Zombies can see this weapon obtained fairly early on.
  • If collected, it can be a powerful weapon during early pre-Hardmode, often up until gold or platinum is obtained.

Trivia

• The Zombie Arm appears to have a Shackle on the wrist, another special drop from Zombies.
