Nata Knife is a powerful knife that deals very high damage to zombies. Its attack range is longer than most other knives and is usually used by professional players. Although it is dangerous to approach zombies with melee weapons, this weapon is still used to confront zombies despite the risk. This makes it really famous due to its very high damage. The critical hits are on the head and if the player does a back stab.
