Equipment

something that'll help you in the long run

equipment possibly provides:

+scratch resistance

+covers up certain parts of the body so that zombies wont penetrate through and get you infected

+possibly radioactive resistance

+possibly electricity resistance

+possibly fire resistance

+possibly shock resistance

+hold more ammo

+chance of reloading fast, depending where the mags are stored in the armor

+extra hand-held weapon slot

+possibly power

+more gear

+increase in walkspeed

however, unlike other games, this equipment never provides extra health bonuses
