Where to find it

Carried in the story (not a way to get it)

  • Carried by a Biker during the chapter "The Road to Haddonfield". This is not a confirmed way for you to get it.
  • Carried by Slab during the chapter "Main Street". This is not a confirmed way for you to get it.
  • Carried by the Vagrant during the chapter "Returning Home". This is not a confirmed way for you to get it.

An enemy or character carrying a weapon does not mean the player can pick it up, so these are listed separately from the pickup routes above.

Damage per hit and attack power are separate values. Daze, Bleed, Force and Fear are four independent systems — they are not damage and are never added together.

What it is good at

No single stat on the Broken Bottle stands out above the rest of the melee weapons, so it has no standout strength to call out. It does inflict Bleed and Force.

How it compares

Each stat is listed on its own. No weapon tops every one of them, because they measure different things, so this page does not pick a winner.

Common reasons

An enemy had this weapon
An enemy carrying a weapon does not make it obtainable by the player. Those cases are listed separately and are not counted as pickup routes.
I am in the right chapter and still missed it
Some pickups only exist during a specific story step. Follow the chapter walkthrough order rather than searching the whole area.
