Pushing zeds over

[The Manager 1]

Sorry if this has already been suggested.

I'd like to see a way of pushing zeds over as not to hurt them but rather just to buy some running away time. This would be good for when you start with no weapon and times when you know a bandit is around and you dont want to alert them by using a gun.

Would be awesome if you could use this on other survivors too so in a situation where a hoard is on to a group of you, you could turn on a friend and push them down so the zeds go for them while you leg it.

Obviously pushing would will be useless in a hoard situation and it should also have a small risk of getting hit so it wouldn't really nerf zeds at all.

Thoughts?

We should be able to round-house kick zeds in the face.... like Chuck Norris.

No support for this.

Fallout 3 & New Vegas had a similar concept where sprinting into an enemy would knock them down. It was extremely useful for melee and unarmed people.

I think we should be able to kick zombies away, like a front kick. Which can be selected as a weapon as if it were, well, a weapon. Or it could have its own key.

Just since we spawn unarmed, it would mean instead of frantically trying to lose zombies when unarmed by sprinting everywhere and through everything to glitch them, you would have the option to go up a ladder then as they follow, kick them off to their deaths. Something I REALLY want to do. Since somehow zombies have the ability to climb ladders, we should have the ability to kick, this is about realism.

A basic unarmed melee is a simple request, and it makes sense.

Especially since virtually nowhere is safe from zombies, they climb ladders, walk through doors, attack through walls and have an insane running speed. There is no natural escape right now, and nothing we can do about it when unarmed. Nothing easy anyways, it often comes down to trying to glitch them.
