And not a pistol for a starter, well, you need a ok-ish starter for all types. Survivors are meant to be slightly more powerful than zombies. Zombies are meant to gradually grow in numbers and outnumbering them as each survivor dies.

The intended balance in R2D is that survivors are slightly more powerful but only have one life. Zombies are weaker but have infinite lives and a wide range of classes to kill survivors with. AI are meant to help ambush survivors and weaken them but the AI and their stats made them as useless as a newbie with a pistol that can't do shit. Teamwork and strategy is important when playing as a zombie but most of the community is brain-dead so...

If survivors were underpowered then zombies would be overpowered and then we would get another shitty game balance.
