Reflex121 1 Posted February 15, 2014 So I picked up a machete today and thought "awesome! I could really do some damage with this!". Boy was I wrong. The machete is way under powered. I thought it should kill a zombie in like four hits (a properly kept machete should be able to lop all of the appendages of a human body off at that point.) but I wasn't able to kill anything! At one point I just wanted to see how many hits it would take to kill one zombie. I lost count after 25.... Is there something wrong with the machete? was it not properly implemented or something? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
colekern 1364 Posted February 15, 2014 Yes, there was discussion about how ridiculously underpowered between the devs. It's a known issue, should probably be fixed soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djporternz 644 Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) You're doing it wrong! Machete takes down a Zombie in two hits. Edited February 15, 2014 by DJPorterNZ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dchil 829 Posted February 15, 2014 I honestly perfer the Hacksaw over the Machete. I can carry one in my starter pants, i have taken down a zombie in 2 hits and i don't like fist fights with zombies. The machete just takes up the slot where i can stick an Axe and is, like you said, an over sized kitchen knife. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
basinox 300 Posted February 15, 2014 Already suggested it but its probably just unfinished atm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AP_Norris 1018 Posted February 15, 2014 Needs to be bigger aswell.Maybe add a bolo machete about 20inches long with a blunt cut end and a very hacking sort of weapon type. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrBecause 11 Posted February 15, 2014 Yes, it is pretty much useless at the moment. I only carry it for the looks and because I like collecting new stuff as soon as it's added. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
