melee weapons and thier role as tools

[Kenny Kyle 138]

how about melee charge with worn out system to make it interesting?

and..

 

for example:

agressive melees

baseball bat= can make unconcious(or unicorns) with one charged strike to the head (loot stil pristine)

baseball bat + nails= can kill with one charged strike to the head(loot ruined)

Machette= sure wound on enemy

 

usefull melees

crowbar=open closed doors,drawers,windows,containers and stuff (the canopener for big things.100% loot pristine),attack can brake enemy hands

pipe wrench= open pipes in buildings to get water( or craft a pipe for pipebomb?) attack can brake enemy hands

shovel= you can hide a body.attack brings enemy to stagger.

 

the special melees

fireaxe and splitting axe.(...and the chainsaw :D)

you can do all agressive things faster. but its loud and the loot gets damaged.

 

so choose wiseley ;)

 

what i mean is. no "best" melee please ;)

Not sure why a shot to the head should ruin loot in any other area of the body regardless of what you use? 

Otherwise it all looks pretty good to me.

Sounds good...so we would see people with something else than a Fire Axe 'cause right now...is the only melee weapon that's worth picking up from the floor (or a dead bandit)

I already made some of these suggestions in my own post but I do agree that the melee system needs a lot of improvement.
