djporternz 644 Posted January 19, 2014 The bat's useless, zombies can't pitchAnd their fielders keep crowding the plates. But with bases loaded and bottom of the 9th, I'd rather have the bat than the ball. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Whyherro123 2283 Posted January 20, 2014 Exactly. Melee weapons should be difficult to use, but do massive damage when they hit, especially the larger ones, like the shovel and the pipe wrench. A shovel in full swing is a hell of a sight, and can remove limbs if used with the proper force and angle of attack. I have a WW2 issue E-tool that (I have been told by the previous user) has easily removed Japanese heads in CQC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hells high 676 Posted January 20, 2014 Also remember to never swing with it raised (space). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
medium00rare 3 Posted January 20, 2014 Also, the ax works best from the "lowered" position. Gets on my nerves when I've got my gun out, switch to the ax for a zed and my character is holding it straight up in front of him like a goof. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leto (DayZ) 72 Posted January 20, 2014 The axe's range seems way too short, you have to be hump the zombie before you swing to get a hit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
