Question: melee and primary weapons

[fearz0r 128]

I've currently got myself a hatchet I'm using for stealthy panic kills when a Zed jumps me. My question is, if I come across a rifle or shotgun, will I still be able to use/keep my hatchet?

ok, so I've not found an M16(!!), I managed to keep the hatchet via putting it on my tool belt, but I can't seem to equip it without dropping my M16 :(

Melee weapons are use the primary weapon slot!

You could look for a revolver or an other secondary weapon and keep your hatchet if you really feel like it!

Before you pick up a primary weapon go to your inventory and right-click on the hatchet. Move it to your toolbelt or you'll get some weird glitch where either your primary weapon overrides and deletes your hatchet or vice versa. You can have both, yes, but not at the same time. Maintain at least 10 spaces in your backpack plus room for your ammo (be extra careful because if there isn't enough room whatever you put into it will be deleted) and you can put your rifle in your backpack (doesn't work with the starting backpack) whenever you need to and then switch your hatchet from toolbelt to active inventory (using right-click). It's slow and cumbersome but it works if you're being stealthy and can afford to take your time.

You can put ur hatchet on ur tool belt so you can still hold a pistol and a rifle, just means dropping ur rifle to use ur hatchet

We need an option to rifle butt players. Just saying.

Could be added via action menu, but a shot would be the most secure way to eliminate a target because you don't really get close that often.
