Can we have an alternative Zombie Melee weapon to the Axe?

[Zoring 25]

Hello chaps,

 

Currently the only melee weapon worth carrying in the game is the firefighters axe, because it is the only one that kills a zombie with one hit, can we please have some of the other melee weapons buffed to also kill zombies with one hit so that we don't all have to run around carrying axes for a bit of variety.

 

One hit zombie kill for Machetes, Bayonets, add a soviet E-Tool, anything.

In the current experimental they make the axe less effective. So you will have a wider range of melee to choose from now besides the axe.

While the one hit kill to the Zeds is nice to some, I kinda like having to take multiple wacks at at a zed before it goes down. Take away that easy button option of the one hit melee kill, please. As I am one for not making the game too easy.. Much rather have a little bit of difficulty when dispatching the zeds.

In my opinion, all the melee weapons will become much more useful once the hit detection mechanics are smoothed over better. Since it feels like I'm swinging like a maniac everytime I have to silently kill one of those buggers, might as well just use the one that one shot kills. But if and when the mechanics are worked out, I will use different ones.

 

I do feel there could be another dozen or so melee weapons to use, I'm sure there will probably be many added in down the road.

 

I'm really looking forward to the day the hit detection becomes more palpable.

Haha, well that's interesting, I just want the chance for variety, I just want their to be some point to having all the other melee weapons in the game.

Don't know if they nerfed it in .44 but the farming hoe seams to be pretty damn good.  I got a damaged one and the only reason it seamed like zombies took two hits was because of lag.

farming hoe and pitchfork seems to make dmg like a woodcuttingaxe
but more range (not that good inside buildings, but trying to kill inside is bad anyways)
waiting for new physics/hitdetection to be released

pitchfork
