In the first attempt with the video i reach 98% of the achievement(139/141).in the second attempt i found that i missed 2 things
newspaper box and Blngo ball cage. in fact i remember that i used them both in the first attempt. but it didn't count for some reason. in the end i have 2 notes
first,use the 3 moves with each thing
the moves(Hold X,Press X,Throw by(LT+RT).second it is recomended to do it in one walkthrough or in one save slot.Thank you for the guide,helped me a lot

The video or guide doesn't overtly mention this at all so I thought I'd add this myself.

There are several story and side missions that need to be beaten to access all weapons.
You must complete the story up to Case 5-2, for the katana from the boss fight with the twins as well as the weapon cases on the top of Fortune City Hotel.

There are also weapons only usable from completing side missions and psychopaths.

Psychopath: Here Comes The Groom (Giant Pink Chainsaw)
Side Mission: Two's Company (Comedy Trophy)
Psychopath: World's Most Dangerous Trick (Magician Sword)

After going through the game twice killing with every weapon, with every motion. I'm stuck at 99% this achievement like many others in this cancer stain of a game is extremely buggy. 15 hours and counting and still haven't gotten this. 7 day survivor was far better then this. IT WAS THE THIRD SWING ON THE STUPID MINNING PICK I WAS MISSING.

Was stuck at 99% as well! pretty sure I did it the first time but it was running with the bull skull that worked for me as I went through a 2nd time.

Just a small Warning for "AHGreg's" solution, and "Viorel Nicolae's" video guide, above.

there is no "note" or warning in the actual video, but you actually NEED to progress in the story and even do some side quests for certain weapons to be available.

Fast forward toward the end of the video at the, melee item number 136 at the 6:40s mark.


a specific list of the items needed thru progression are,


Giant Pink Chainsaw - Side quest "Here Comes the Groom"

Katana Sword - Case 4-1

Military Case - Case 5-2

Comedy Trophy - Side Quest " Two Companies" ( go hit a zombie with it BEFORE giving it to either comedian to take them to the safe house.)

Magician Sword - Side Quest "World's Most Dangerous Trick"


reading the comments on youtube, this achievement might be cumulative thru multiple playthroughs, though i would suggest trying it in one.

This is not a guide but more of a word of warning for anyone still planning to go for this. I lost 2 hours and went through the list twice while stuck at 99% only to find out the issue was the Bingo Ball Cage HAS TO be on the stand when you use it. If you bump into it and the ball falls off the stand and starts to roll on the floor it will NOT count. I have seen other people say they needed to do another play through and this item was the missing piece.

It is not required to kill them, hitting them will suffice.

As all other multi-playthrough achievements, there have been reports of it not unlocking when it should. Again, try to contain the requirements in one playthrough, to be on the safe side.

Take note of the following items and ensure you find these while doing the relevant missions/cases.

Unique items:

  • Giant Pink Chainsaw - 'Here Comes The Groom' side mission
  • Katana - Case 4-1
  • Magician's sword - 'The World's Most Dangerous Trick' side mission
  • Military Case - Starting from Case 5, hard to miss boxes though.
  • Trophy - 'Two for Company' side mission.

You can find a detailed walkthrough here. You can also check out the video below for some help.

Use the Weapons Checklist below to keep track of the melee weapons you've used. Note that you don't have to kill the zombie, just hit them. Note that Military Case is only available after Case 6, and the Comedy Trophy in "Two's Company", the Magician's Sword from "World's Deadliest Trick", and the Katana Sword from Case 4-1 are mission specific, making this a missable trophy. Apparently hits on gas zombies do not count for the weapons trophies, so make sure to hit a normal zombie.
