make pipe wrench as damaging as it shoudl be

[qww 287]

pipe wrench looks really cool,  i want to always carry it,  but only axe works properly so i use that when i got it. make pipe wrench do more damage , like it would if it hit someone in the head in real, its massive

No...it can't do any damage it doesn't have an edge...jk

 

Maybe they didn't adjust it properly yet then again why introduce it in the first place?

 

I hope they differ between blunt trauma and cuts depending on the weapon used ( like wrenches and crowbars causing broken bones more often )

And not causing bleeding.

 

Sharp weapons should all cause bleeding.

IDK bro. I tested it and it knocks people out even with a motorcycle helmet on.

Knocks out 1 hit to the head and is quite good at dispatching zombies if you get 2 good twacks in.

Just wait until you try the "new and improved" melee system in the next patch. You'll be lucky to hit the inside of a barn with a melee weapon the way it works there.

I like the melee system. I've killed players with the axe and the pitchfork(It smacks and doesn't stab. >_<)

But I bet it would be harder with the wrench but I don't think it'll be that different

Well...on the one hand: The new melee system looks awesome...like when you swing a baeball bat. You swing it like you mean it ;)

 

But on the other hand: You can't hit anythign with soem weapons now (on experimental)...like the crowbar or the pipe wrench, because their range is like...well...as if you would carry them in your mouth, shorter than  your arms.

Tested it like this: Sneaked up to a Z from behind until I BUMPED into it and could not go any further (thanks for the old AI it didn't notice me...) Tried to hit it with the crowbar...and missed, no matter where I aimed. Only chance to hit them with these weapons iswhile THEY attack YOU, because they come closer than you can it seems.

 

And also: Fire extinguisher, hoes and pitchforks. All three awesome weapons, the last two with a good range as well (and a 1 hit knockout to the head, 2 to the body)

Shovel should be considered both sharp and blunt.

Sharp because in reality you would be hitting the zed with the sharp edge of the shovel, not the base part of it.

They should add concussions if hit by the wrench, or other blunt melee weapons such as baseball bats, instead of bleeding. Concussions gradually reduce health istead of blood and instead of bandages you use painkillers to fix them.

yeah i have killed a guy who attacked me on coast with one in one hit in the head, and i have killed zombies fast, maybe 1 hit once, but nah, ive had pristine wrench (duno if that makes a difference) and its knockin zombie down 4 or 5 times, but zombie keeps gettin up,  and its taking too long to die. or im gettign a headshot and its just not detecting it, and doing no damage at all, where as with the fire axe it probably would have killed the z . just my experiences anyway.

 

i just think it should smash shit up more, do more damage, more consistently, break arms or legs like someone else said on here would be cool yeah, for a good hit,
