Any guide on how to melee? Died for the 3rd time no to only one zombie because my axe/shovel didnt quiet hit. How many hits to i need?

With an axe you should mostly hit 1 or 2 times. You will see blood if you hit the zombie. Also it helps sometime to get into first person, so you can aim well.

With two handed weapons dont use the crosshair to aim, The weapon needs to have actual contact with the zombie to hit them.

 

Most weapons apart from the axe's will do little damage unless you get a good headshot, by hitting them in the head you can knock them down for a few seconds which is when you need to lay into them with more headshots.

 

Also some weapons work best when you press spacebar first to raise them up, baseball bat and wrench work best like this.

press space, now you are in the fight position, press left mouse to hit someone.
