ragequit (DayZ) 11 Posted August 12, 2012 why cant i easily shoot a rilfe, then grab my axe and hack Z up?realism dictates i can just grab my axe from my belt and spilt heads with some ease.easy solution i can see (although not perfect) is let axe be secondary or primary weapon.or have a "hotswap" action/binding that allows us to switch to melee really quickly.

trylan 25 Posted August 12, 2012 i dont understand why the axe is called a "hatchet" when it takes two hands and ten slots in your bag..and looks more like a firemans axe. if it were a hatchet it would be a one handed weapon, but its a two handed weapon some how; so it should be renamed to "fireman axe" . or the knife could be a one handed weapon that does less damage.

harley001 315 Posted August 12, 2012 (edited) No. Its a axe, you carry it with two hands. Realistically you wouldn't be able to quick draw it and hack stuff up. Put it in your tool belt when your not using it. Edited August 12, 2012 by harley001 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
