Melee damage, and mele options

[Das_TrA 0]

So I'm wondering if anybody else isn't happy with the melee damage drop-off of items. while I'm all for the game being difficult, I have only been able to kill zombies with the two types of axes and the shovel. I was wondering, when more zombies are implemented, if the damages were going to be changed. I know that I shouldn't be able to kite 8 zombies because that's unrealistic, but I also should be able to sneak around and pick my fights with zombies without having to hit a zombie on the head 13 times before he/she goes down. one thing that I like though is the fact that zombies fall. I was thinking that it might help if once a zombie goes down from a lesser melee weapon you can finish them off. I dunno how easy that would be to do in the arma engine, but it's an idea. Any thoughts on this?

 

 

P.S. DAT ITEM RESPAWN MECHANIC DOE   :P

Welcome to the forums :)

To my knowledge, only the axe right now is a one hit kilk on zombies. The shovel and the bat have the same damage output as fists. This will probably be different later on.

I don't think there should be a lot of one hits, but I imagine that if I crowbar somebody to the face, zombie or not, they are gonna hit the deck, and from there I can proceed to bash their face in....... maybe I should stop playing zombie games, I sound violent haha.
