Punching?

[mixmastajingles 31]

Why does punching do the same damage as shooting a gun? Someone explain this? This is the 3rd time i've been knocked unconcious by a fresh spawn and they take all my gear? I'll shoot them 5 or 6 times and then boom. they knock me out?

 

Maybe it was karma for me hassling some fresh spawns but still.... This is very silly and needs to be fixed.

[mixmastajingles 31]

Oh well it doesn't matter. Silly alpha. Ill be back when the game is fixed.

One shot to the head is fatal where are you shooting them

[DropBearChick 1217]

It is not the same as a gun, fists do lots of shock damage which knocks you out, wheres as guns do lots of blood damage which is your health.

If I have a freshy running towards me I usually get somewhere higher than them, where they gotta walk up and when they do you have a better chance of getting rid of them.

Aim at the legs easy break of the legs.... But if you are actually hiting with all those shots on a fresh spawn they should die i might think A)your missing orB) the server aint flash and desync has you missing

What gun were you using and where did your bullets hit?

[tobias winfro 305]

You could try wearing a helmet, that is supposed to help a bit and why are you hassling new spawns when you have a gun? Afraid of some competition? Oh wait you still got knocked out for your troubles. Also try shooting for center mass instead of shooting for the legs to troll people.

Sounds like someones aim is a bit "jingley" Haw Haw...

Get it?

[mixmastajingles 31]

I'm not killing fresh spawns. I just give them a little shit and let them be on their way. After letting him go he punched me and i ran to make some distance, I shot the guy in center mass at least 5 or 6 times. The bullet registration is what is actually wrong here. Then he punched me a few times(which is super fast for some reason? like half a second)and i was knocked out cold.

 

Because of this I am now issuing a KOS mentality, I am a product of my environment.

 

EDIT: I was wearing a ballistic helmet.....go figure?

Motorcycle helmet is your friend. Punching freshies stand zero chance when I'm armed - with ANY firearm.

What gun are you using? The M4 is horribly inaccurate even with pristine components and using the .22 rifle is like shooting someone with a BB gun. Gotta love them punching freshies, got nothing to lose and everything to gain
