Other than the (imo) absolutely batshit ridiculous parks that seem to hold like 30-40 zombies sometimes, the best way to combat large groups is to not combat large groups
Instead, getting on the edge of their aggro range and attracting just a few at a time
I would say with what you have now, try to never fight more than three
Use your range advantage, remember not to pulp the zombies until you’re safe and fully rested (the amount of times I’ve pulped a crowd of dead Z’s just to be attacked by others when my stamina is low)
ALWAYS have an escape plan, like a route or preferably a vehicle to which you can skedaddle
Pay attention to your stamina and make sure you’re not fighting with three rucksacks and two duffel bags and all that; keep your torso encumbrance >20 ideally
Early game, I think the best way to clear cities, like others have mentioned, is interspecies stuff
Setting off alarms to attract the copbots or whatever
Leading zombies towards Mi-go or the dreaded wasps
Fully loot a house somewhere and cause a fire in it
Cars you don’t intend to use are great throwaway rams (but also potentially dangerous so make sure they have seatbelts, you know how to drive decently, and make sure you don’t crash the things in the middle of a huge crowd)
It seems like zombies don’t know how to avoid fire, so you could maybe set up a row of burning logs or something and just lead them in
