I'm making a zombie survival RPG for me and a few of my friends. I need ideas for things you would find while searching abandoned buildings. Please help!

Yeah, I assumed those, but I wanted more specifics. Like names, brands, anything that would fit. Like a Bowie knife? Also, I've never played Zomboid or Fallout or anything, so I wasn't sure if there should be anything besides that stuff.

Can't use realworld brands, they are trademarked. Means you get to pull a rockstar and make up ridiculous brand names like Sprunk (soft drink in GTA universe).

Actually you can use real world weapon names. Lots of games like Counterstrike, Battlefield, COD and lots of other games(even including GTA) use real world weapons. I'm not sure why this is, but I think that you actually are allowed to use trademarked names in video games, but not copyrighted symbols or pictures(if I'm wrong about this, please correct me).

You will notice that many games do not use real weapon names, or have trademark license agreements in the manual or as part of the end user license agreement.

Several weapons have expired trademarks so they get away with those or dont have trademarks in the first place, but otherwise they have to pay to license those trademarks. Colt 1911, AR15, M4, M16 and the various AK platform weapons trademarks have expired.

No allowing sarcasm?

Not from a guy who just threw me into a masterball.

Uh, I didn't throw you in a masterball.
I threw a masterball that sucked you in.
