Straight Razor

Recommended Posts

I don't know if this has been suggested before but the thought occurred to me the other night and it might work well, or not.

 

A straight razor like a barber uses to shave beards, as a weapon. If a player got any kind of hit from it they would bleed immediately and bleed even more from subsequent hits, thus making it a very viable weapon. On the other hand , hitting a zombie with it would do practically nothing at all as zombies don't bleed like players.

 

Thoughts or opinions ?

hmmm sounds good. also should apply to current knife and machete.

 

only a hit from pristine blade would guarantee bleed maybe? as the condition gets worse, the percentage for bleed-hit would go lower, since the blade is then duller.

 

i'm not sure if the current blades already have a better chance of causing bleed though?

And if the blade is rusty or contains zombie blood, you can get an infection :)

or if you are a gentleman stabber, use desinfectant on the blade before committing a murder

While it looks like it bleeds a lot the injuries wouldn't go as deep as when you stab with the dayZ knife. You might disable someone if you cut tendons or muscle. It's hard to simulate pain in a game. Every type of pain can disable or at least distract you, imagine when you bump your toe or shin really bad.
