Hand to Hand (a way to fight back)

[Eri 3]

We spawn with nothing to fight back...I think when your unarmed, you can do kicks and punches. These attacks shouldn't be TOO powerful, nor too weak. This is because it is mostly hard to find a weapon at the start.

GIMMIE BEANS FOR THIS!

[General Dickbutt 41]

I agree with being able to punch, but you getting my beans? Hell no!

[Maroite 48]

Only if we get power levels and eventually can shoot Kamehamehas at snipers on hill sides.

Yeah that would be funny. But would make that sniper wanna kill you. Its like:

Sniper: Hmm look a survivor looking in MY fire department!

You: *sees sniper* OH NO YOU DON'T *KAMEHAMEHAS*

Sniper: Whats that blue th--HOLY **** *drops sniper* AH *INCINERATED*

You: Nobody messes with me!

Maybe like you can get skills with hand to hand, possibly evasive skills. But lets not turn this into a different topic.

.....Zombies, if you can punch them in the face, they can bite your face off. As it is: zombies do very little damage and are easy to get away from.

And finding a weapon at start is not hard, you just have be a little more careful.

Just run through town and gather up the infected.. then find a building to run though. Go back and loot away.

If i get the beans, maybe the idea will COME TO LIFE! Meh. Nobody cares :P

Screw punching, you should just start with a new melee weapon.

Finding a weapon isn't too hard. But hachets are useful and all, but really. I get sick of finding makarov ammo but NO. FRIGGIN. MAKAROV!

Odoyle, thats a good tactic...but sometimes it doesnt work for me. And besides, if I did come back, more likely not many places to look at.

I think the problem with it would be balancing. Obviously you would be able to do damage but how much? A Zed is going to do more melee damage than a player if you wanted to stick to realism for one fact - they're mindless and don't care if their bodies are injured, so are more likely to use full force.

You also could go the route of having melee more likely to stun, break bones, knock out, or disorient targets but I think this would also effect the balance of PvP. Although, I would love to double ear clap a sniper and dance around him as he's 'disoriented' and unable to act. :P

Could go with the suggestions about being able to have a non-lethal way of taking down players

It shouldn't be too lethal, but nor too weak, All I think is that it should stun the zombies giving you a chance to run and hide possibly, maybe the stun can last for 10 seconds?

I really wouldn't like something like this in Day Z which is a hardcore survival mod, personally I think you should never be putting your hands or fingers anywhere near a zombie. So I'd hate to try and push them away from me or stun them.

Sure it might be hard to find a firearm in Day Z, but there's an abundance of hatchets, the hatchet gnomes that wander Chernarus have put them in various buildings throughout the countryside.
