PDW

The PDW is a small UZI-type weapon that uses 9x19mm ammo, with up to a total of 30 rounds in one magazine. This weapon counts as a sidearm and fills the sidearm slot instead of a pistol or flashlight. It is a rare item that can be found in military loot spawns. This weapon is not very powerful, requiring multiple shots to kill.

This weapon is a great sidearm, especially for players that have a sniper rifle, as it allows them to have a rapid-fire weapon for close-range combat, should they be spotted.

This weapon can use a total of 5 different magazine types, more than any other weapon in the game. This makes it a very handy sidearm, as it has the firing rate to combat enemy players (if not the damage or accuracy to beat combat rifles) and ammunition can be used from a variety of other weapons. Note, using a smaller magazine will load fewer rounds than the standard PDW Mag.

If SD ammunition is loaded into the PDW, the gun will not attract zombies although other players will hear it as though unsilenced shots were fired.

The PDW is often considered to be the best sidearm in the game, due to the multitude of ammo types it can utilize, and its full-auto fire mode.
