Zombies Attack

Recommended Posts

How do zombies hit? I mean, melee was only recently added, but zombies seem to always have been able to "melee". Do they have a hidden gun? Curious.

From what I understand, yes, it's a modified short range attack based on pistols.

I can't be too definitive, but that seems to be what they did with the axe and crowbar, too

I kinda wished the crowbar would have been a faded orange :)

Can't be bothered quoting, but Z's hit with a area of effect attack.. very short range.. maybe using a modified grenade or other explosive type of effect.

Hatchets and crowbars use a 'pistol' effect, just very limited range. Hence the reloading part that is needed.

I managed to bind the crowbar to my shotgun and use the shotgun as a melee weapon and still hold my shotgun and use it just clicking F until it selected the shotgun again. When I switched this up for a assault rifle, could not pick up the crowbar and have it bound to the rifle. My friends called me a hacker for swinging my shotgun and it making a 'puff' like the hatchet.. :P
