Melee weapons!

[Hippo (DayZ) 0]

I was wondering if there will ever be a use for that lonely hatchet for when you don't have any ammo. I think it would be awesome to be able to use things like this as melee weapons, nothing like the melee in L4D2 (that would be unfair), but a little animation where your character swings his axe and hits the zombie in the side of the head knocking him over but still with the axe stuck in his head, leaving you to yank it out. This "action would take several seconds, leaving you vulnerable to mauling. This would be handy for that lone zombie you want to kill without attracting a horde.

Well it sux if they implement katana or something, just run & slash, then there will be no difficulty, this is what I do in other zombie games and thats why I moved to this one, cuz this shit aint easy..
