Melee weapons can also be found in various locations but unlike guns, melee weapons are only temporary since they have durability and will be destroyed once its durability reaches 0. You can use the Crafting menu to fix a melee weapon back to its full durability. It’s also a bummer that you can only carry one melee weapon at a time. In this page, we will cover where you can pick up various guns in the game. Take note that if you miss the guns we list here, there’s a possibility that you’ll encounter them again later in the game. Collecting all guns in the game is necessary to unlock the High Caliber Trophy.
In this list, we will also include the gun holsters and throwables/traps. Holsters will allow you to carry additional long guns and short guns, making it easier to swap between the equipped weapons. Throwables or Traps are explosives that you can craft as long as you find the very first "prototype".

A good tactic is leaving a trap mine near the door then run back as soon as you open the door or just use molotovs to kill them all.

There is a couple of clickers inside so crawl under the table blocking the door then kill the clickers from there.
