Sticks and Rocks for Weapons

[lostnthought247 5]

I would like to be able to be able to use sticks and rocks as short-term weapons prior to finding real means of defending myself.

 

if the objective of realism, wouldn't the first thing you did be grad a hefty stick or rock to protect yourself? maybe give these items very limited use/durability or very limited damage as to not take away from the initial challenge and anxiety but at least they would offer a crutch while you look for a real weapon. Also, maybe later if you found a knife you could widdle a spear from your stick?

I could see rocks being a means of distraction (looking at you Farcry), but i do agree with knife on a stick for a spear. Plain stick though? That would tickle a zombie.

If you can bash a human head in with a good sturdy stick why not a zombies? not saying it would be as effective as most melee but should still be better then fist

But seriously,you can throw rocks(along with other things)although they are not configured to impact and damage

other players.The ashwood stick on the other hand is the.....

and is already in game.

Good to know. thanks for the feedback. I figured they were somewhere... I guess then my concern would be why are they so hard to find? seems like you shouldn't need hours of searching to find a simple stick a woodland based setting
