Tools: Is there a point currently?

[hoopman130 6]

As of right now, I don't think there is one viable use for a tool in the, aside from the hacksaw changing the full shotty to a sawed-off. Does anyone know what they plan to do with the tools in the future? If Rocket posted something (which I'm sure he did) please just put in a link. Thanks!

Coming in the February Patch, the hacksaw will be able to cut through handcuffs.

You are right, some of the items in the game doesnt really have a funtion yet :)
But i can promise you they will slowly get more and more functions, and it will all be good hehe.

As mentioned, by Marc, we will be able to saw handcuffs soon :) One step in the right direction.

 

I am not personally familiar with alot of the plans for tools, but im quite confident Rocket and the devs have a lot of ideas for them and the entire crafting system planned :)

Screwdriver can open cans.

 

The rest are probably slated for the 'crafting' system.

They're all pretty decent at bashing the life out of the infected.

True, but i think, as with some of the items atm, we will se alot of multi use out of them :)

I sure hope so, a screwdriver or knife has many many purposes IRL hehe

The axes are by far better, but I still like carrying around a screw driver or wrench as a new spawn. They work better indoors than the bigger melee weapons, so they're nice to have as a backup.

I think I had more luck punching a zombie to death than I did hitting it with a hammer, but whatever works for you ;)

Very true.

Although it doesnt work with my tactic, which is punch them in the face so they fall over and run away screaming like a little girl :D
