Melee Weapon Use

Recommended Posts

Just bought Arma 2 for this mod, awesome so far!

Okay, huge n00b question here, but how do you actually use melee weapons? I have a crowbar but can't figure out how to attack with it. Nothing happens when I click the main mouse button. I looked through the key bindings in-game but didn't see anything that popped out. I've seen videos online of people using these types of weapons to kill z's but there's never been an explanation (because it's probably super obvious and I'm just an idiot).

Firstly, double check that you have the crowbar in your primary weapon slot.

Secondly, try pressing 'R' to reload the thing. You have to reload melee weapons when you first pick them up, but you get 10000 hits with them so its practically limitless.

Thirdly, swap the crowbar for a Hatchet as soon as possible. The crowbar takes a while to kill zombies, the hatchet is 1-hit-ko. When you first pick up the hatchet it'll go to your toolbelt. Drop the crowbar, right click the hatchet, and click on 'Remove from toolbelt', you'll equip the Hachet as a primary weapon. Right click it and select 'Add to toolbelt' if you want it to go back to your toolbelt.
