Roddis 23 Posted July 6, 2020 So after 550h I have now some sort of statistic. It happen to me that I lose maybe 8/10 times when a fresh spawn with a shovel/pickaxe/axe fight me in a close range when Im barely geared (a pistol usually + a BK or something similar). Well, you can say ''git gud noob'' and in fact I have very bad aim probably, but what strange is that, conversely, I win at least 6/10 in the opposite circumstances, that is me as a fresh span with an axe or similar against a poor guy that try to hit me with a pistol. I start to zig zag, I approach him and bang an hit and he is down. At a first moment I thought, maybe is a sort of anti KOS system (I know a lot of people have a thing with KOS and KOSer, I fine with both), but no, because a guy with only a shovel is (absolutely reasonable) the first KOSer in the game. He have nothing to lose and he know he have more that a slight chance to win against a middle geared. So what...its a very strange statistic of mine? If not, I would like to know what your statistic would be, cause I started to think this is simply stupid, when a guy with a firearm have to fear and flee a guy with a shovel... Or maybe there is some strategy? Or maybe I should simply go with a shovel until the first AK + heavy vest lol? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SoWeMeetAgain 100 Posted July 6, 2020 The problem is in the ability to rapidly change direction, to an unrealistic extent. Needs some tinkering for sure. Also, breaking limbs will probably make this much less of a problem, if it has real effects. Eg even if you don't kill him while he's running up to you, a non lethal hit might render him unable to swing the shovel as effective. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Homeschooliazon 87 Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) I would like it if a .45 bullet in the heart would actually kill an unarmored freshie who's trying to hit me with a shovel. Also it would be nice if you actually had to hit someone on the head like in version .62 to knock them out. As far as i know even the bk rifle rarely kills you in one shot unless it's a headshot, making the shovel way deadlier hahaha!

Funkmaster Rick 373 Posted July 16, 2020 They used to have bones break from gunshots. It was highly rewarding. They took it out. Unless it's a headshot, your pistol is only useful for audibly discouraging people from approaching. Or, more likely, drawing the wolves with better guns. Inertia has been a problem since launch. The serpentine is incredibly easy and effective in this game. You should pretty much only skulk and go for one-shot kills in this game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
