Please make hatchet secondary weapon too!

It is short range weapon and lets face it it would be awesome if you could have it instead of pistol.

Please make this happen.

I do think there needs to be some kind of melee secondary. Swapping from rifle to hatched is slow and clunky and gets you killed with this engine. We need a melee secondary at some point for sure. I think keep the hatched a primary, as it's a very strong melee, by maybe allow crowbar or something as secondary. Then give it to us to start so we aren't defenseless, but in turn take away our backpacks and painkillers?

I dont. The hatchet is first and foremost a tool. Not a weapon.

Even though it's stronger than half the guns in the game, and only one of two melee weapons?

We need SOMETHING to melee with in the secondary slot.

As you said the swapping is slow, so it is a choice. I can personally put up with the speed as it is still better than having to put rifle in backpack and take the hatchet out :) Think I'm getting addicted to it, best thing that happened to DayZ since ever!
