Add more destructive melee weapons.

Dayz should add destruictive melee weapons like the chainsaw , sledge hammer , Baseball bat , Baseball bat with nails , Knife , Golf club , cricket bat , Chef knife only found in super market. Maybe a sword but only found in devils castle.

Really un needed. Most (sane) people will take a gun over melee any day. Killing a guy at 300m > Killing a guy at 1m

Since players don't spawn with any guns , melee weapons are most common than guns so there choice of survival for day one would be melee.

I think that guns should be made increasingly rare, and melee weapons be made increasingly common, so that most players are running around with melee. If you get a gun it means you're a total baller.

Melee deathmatch in Cherno would epic.

The only time I would use a mellee weapon for night time scavenging in a big city were I want to stay stealthy. So I support this.

I have 72 kills with my current character, all made with the hatchet. This hatchet is actually the poorman's silenced weapon, and you don't need any rare ammo to use it. Perfect for stealth approches in crowded towns, but carrying meat and morphine is mandatory.

BTW I totally support the OP's suggestion!

I find melee weapons the way they are pretty decent, not as bad as people say at least.... I actually find myself wanting to have my melee weapon over my primary a lot so I can kill zombies quietly. The only thing really stopping me though is how much you get crippled, so I think that's the biggest problem at the moment.

Melee weapons while solo is kind of a bad idea, in case a bandit starts shooting at you at a long range. But when I play with my friend who can cover me, I find myself putting my weapon on the ground just to kill a zombie silently so we don't pull an entire town. The few zombies that I have killed (only like 4) died without me even taking a scratch though.

I think people really underestimate the range on the melee weapons, and the fact that you can easily one hit them if you aim at the head.

Certainly adding more features/weapons and refining melee combat needs to happen, but I expect that's already planned.

There should defintely be more options than a hatchet and crowbar.

Me? I'd craft some Freddy Krueger type gloves.

Would be interesting if common guns were a little more rare then melee weapons...

And there was more melee selections. Weak-strong=wood bat - Hatchet

Wonder how that would play out...

I haven't tried melee so idk how difficult or reliable it is...

Like the idea if balanced in more.

Definitely need more melee weapons and I reckon that every new player should spawn with a various melee weapon (randomised every spawn).

[Robert Shannon 27]

I dont think it should be random, maybe start with a Pen knife.
