Melee Weapons Ideas (Megathread) Post your ideas

[rossums 2190]

But we SHOULD want to see a chainsaw in game, precisely because of how loud, heavy and useless it would be.

It would make an effective tool, for felling trees. But you'll know a nub is near when you hear them rev-rev-revving through Cherno, moving at a snail's pace.

I like it for the sheer amount of panic that it would instill in anyone nearby - you just hear it revving up and getting closer and closer and BZZZZZZ!

Even in Texas Chainsaw Massacre it was pretty terrible. :lol:

Bayonet . realy realy like to see it in the game . I think lots of players would apreciate it .

 

Bayonets are confirmed for the Standalone.

Chainsaw = heavy. People wouldn't carry chainsaws around as they trek through Chernarus. Also they would have to start up the chainsaw before even being able to cut anyone. Not a realistic or useful weapon (it's a tool) therefore I don't want to see one.

 

I don't get how it being a non-useful item means that it shouldn't be implemented.

 

There would be a good amount of them there, just having it as a horrible weapon would be nice enough :P

I strongly suspect the devs would simply leave out most (or all) of the negative characteristics, and anyways it's a game, so people don't care if their character is inconvenienced and would take them anyways just for giggles. Then I would see a bunch of people with chainsaws and seeing people walking around with chainsaws would seem silly to me since I wouldn't see that happening in real life in any situation whatsoever... thus breaking the feeling of immersion I would have had previous to seeing a chainsaw-carrying person, therefore best to leave them out in favor of something else. Hatchets or axes are all a mobile survivor would really need.

 

^That's my thought process :lol:

I think there should be basic melee weapons and then you can craft them into something more for example

- Baseball Bat + Nails = Nailed Bat

- Baseball Bat + Barbed Wire = Barb Wire bat

Something like that or when you use sharp melee weapons the sharpness degrades so you have to sharpen them with proper tools or something but other that some melee weapons it'd like to see would be

- Police Baton

- Golf Club

- Chainsaw (requires fuel and is very loud could aggro zombies)

- Sledge Hammer

- Hockey Stick

- Crowbar

- Hammer

- Meat Tenderizer

- Tire Iron

- Shovel

No baseball bat please. It's Chernarus, Not America. We've already got machetes.

Metal Rod w/ barbed wire coil.

Cane w/ 4 kitchen knives taped to the end.

Slingshot. Uses Metal balls as ammo. More of a ranged weapon  :rolleyes: 

Blow-dart tube for ninja bandits  :ph34r: 

Spade.

Not sure if it has been brought up.. but a pitch fork. If farms are added.. you would find pitch forks.

 

I agree.. no baseball bat.

 

Yes on the slingshot! ball bearings or small rocks found on the beach? (although tis not a melee weapon :P)

 

oh, and an industrial sized wrench.

If possible a flail would be awesome, maybe they could have plate & chain armour so we can have medieval warfare lolz like they use to.
