Craft Club
Craft a Wooden Club to defend yourself from Zombies.

Craft Bow
Craft a primitive bow to attack zombies at a distance.
Ranged weapons are great at keeping Enemies at a distance. Headshots will typically do more Damage, but can be easily missed, so take your time to make every shot count. Aiming down sights with [Secondary] consumes Stamina in exchange for higher Accuracy and less Recoil.
Hint: Craft a Primitive Bow.
