Hunting Knife - The silent killer.

[zenshou 12]

First of all I'd like to point out that I love how hard the game is and do not want it dulled down in any way, however...

I think the hunting knife should have the same option as the Hatchet because lets be honest...it looks pretty bad ass and if I were getting attacked by zombies I'd sure as hell use that if it were my only option.

In terms of balance and maintaining the difficulty of the game, I suggest the spawn rate of the Hunting Knife be reduced and it should take 2-3 shots to the body or 1 shot to the head to kill a zed, and seeing as it's a melee weapon it should be similar for players.

Heck, while we're at it.... why is there not a machete in the game? Isn't that an iconic zombie survival tool?

In summary, Hunting Knife should be a low tier weapon similar to the Hatchet. What are your thoughts on the matter?

p.s Wasn't sure if this suggestion had been made before, but I couldn't see it on any of the first few suggestion pages so yeah.

Anyone seen a trench spike - now that would be cool!

I believe it's been tossed around infrequently, but hey, I agree with you after all. It seems like these don't follow the old fashioned Romero Rules, so a hunting knife would be just as valid a weapon as any. It would be pretty terrible, but so is having nothing.

I would like to see the hunting knife be weaker than the hatchet but only take up the secondary slot if your using it for melee.

I think it would make a great melee weapon, I wish we could have a melee weapon slot

i belive a bowie knife from code would be baws imo it would be very powerful and rare but i like your idea :)

That would make the game too easy. I think Hunting Knife should take the pistol slot. Would be pretty cool to throw the ol' rifle on the back and stab a boar to death before you gut it for it's precious loins.

How about implementing a throwing spetznaz knife? It's pretty realistic:

While we are on this topic, that guy on the picture "vaults" over the f*cking barber wire in a proper way!

It's Chernarus, of course there are Spetsnaz. Are you Spetsnaz?

No.

Well, maybe. You can hit a target with an AK at five hundred yards, rebuild a helicopter, carry car engines in your backpack, run for miles without stopping, gut animals, build fires, navigate with map and compass, bandage wounds and apply medicine...

Maybe you are.

Having the hunting knife as a melee weapon would be a good idea. A machete as a melee weapon would be awesome!

Machete should be main slot and swing faster than the hatchet, but do less damage!
