** For trained soldiers and scavengers, they sure do waste a lot of ammo firing at the Stenches when one well aimed shot at the head would do the job fine. Done almost to the point of parody in a throwaway scene where a tower guard sprays an entire magazine from her rifle to kill a single Stench that was currently ''stuck to the electric perimeter fence, being actively shocked to the point it catches fire''.

** The other zombies count as well. Zombies from the earlier installments used tools, but they normally did not use them unless they needed to solve a problem, such as getting to a survivor behind a locked door. This time, the zombies are more aware of their past lives and carry their own personal weapons, e.g. the Butcher Zombie has a knife and the Blades zombie still has his machete from ''Film/{{DawnOfTheDead|1978}}''. That said, the zombies are smart enough to pick up new tools if the ones on hand are unfit for the task. In addition, all of them are capable of learning as Big Daddy teaches them how to swim across large bodies of water and wield firearms, and later, [[spoiler:they become immune to the survivors' fireworks distraction]].

** Big Daddy is one to Bub, the "smart zombie" from the [[Film/DayOfTheDead1985 previous installment]]. Like Bub, Big Daddy knows how to properly wield a gun; however, whereas Bub had the benefit of past military experience in his old life and used a pistol with natural ease, Big Daddy was a gas station worker as a human and thus had to learn from scratch how to use a rifle. Furthermore, Big Daddy is able to teach his fellow zombies new skills and lead them into battle against the humans while Bub hardly interacted with his fellow zombies on screen and fought humans by himself.
