melee weapon ideas

[apache25 133]

there are far too many guns in this game so i have ideas for more melee focused weapons.

machete: can be put in a scabbard does not take up primary or secondary weapon space.

homade: spear: can break easily may get stuck inside a zombie can be freed by tapping F to twist it out.

swords: may be found in museums can be put in scabbard.

mini hatchets: can preform a quick kill move animation where the player swings the hatchet into a zombies head.

pitchforks: can kill zombies in a single hit. may impale the user if the user is sprinting with pitchfork in hand.

chairs: break easily do minimal damage to zombies.

metal pipes: can smash skulls easily..

double chainsaws tied to a pole: think dead rising.

pickaxes: easy to use can kill zombies or collapse they're chest in a single hit.

hammers: light effective.

sledge hammers: heavy hard to use deals high damage.

thats all

I'd prefer more civilian/melee type weapons than military grade weapons that swamp the game now! It's more realistic and gives a more personal touch to the game, with weapons of choice being just that, rather than everyon having teh heavy calibre sniper rifles or assault rifles out of necessity.

I personally like the idea of having machettes, hammers, swords or wrenches as weapons to fend off small numbers of "biters"

some good ideas. double chainsaw on a stick? not so much.

my qeapons in a zombie apoc would be a machete a mini hatchet and a crossbow

I think you should change the title in SUGGESTIONS FOR MELEE pls post your opinions

so i believe that many kitchens or super market hold items great for Cutting meat

like

Especially the cleaver may be able to bring it down in 2-3 strikes

As for swords and etc

I believe swords should be extremely rare but when you find them they will help to go kill bill

Places to be found can be bars that may have some antiques

Some possible swordd types that will fit Chernarus maps is Cossack and Kirkassian swords they had a tremendous cut and are logical to be there as antiques

Also some usuall Garden tools can be of use

I agree with Box, there are WAY too many hi-spec military weapons in game, and anyone can use them! It's crazy!

A bow and arrow would be badass for range, and quite easily craftable. That's the kinda weapons that should be lying about the place. Homemade stuff instead of AS-50/M4's all over the shop.

I want to sharpen a big stick with my hunting knife, or duct-tape anything onto anything else. AWESOME

"Guess how long until apache25 comes up with a stupid suggestion someone else already suggested"...

Its a little like cow-pat Bingo, but less interesting.

mini hatchet is a redundant thing. A hatchet is already a small ax. A mini hatchet is what lego men use.

lol, you watched too much wrestling?

Baseball bats that make you say obnoxious, phony Boston-accent-tinged taunts.

[DemonGroover 8836]

I'd prefer a cricket bat, Shaun of the Dead style.

I hear the Chernarussian team is quite good.

[apache25 133]

i dont give a flying piss about dutch miller and i hate the guts out of wrestling mister ashwood

all good ideas but this one !! hahaha that chainsaw pole thing in that game was plain retarded.. chainsaws are actually quite heavy.. the average joe couldnt swing i friggin pole with chainsaw on either end its uber impractical :) BUT like i said all the others are what we need !

chairs: break easily do minimal damage to zombies.

assuming that Chernarus is post USSR country, this^ is complete bullshit. chairs in USSR was made of solid wood, and its not that thing that breaks easily. you can kill people with them. even they break apart(yep, glues goes dry eventually) you still can people with its parts. and if you find proper glue, you can put it back together.

how did you know that they was made of solid wood?

anyway. i would be happy if the hunting knife was wield-able on the secondary slot. like hatchets

Beans for you. There are so many times when I have an Enfield or something and no pistol and I want to silently kill a zombie.

[apache25 133]

baseball bat please, its not heavy, but packs a punch and doesn't degrade as fast as a bladed weapon, also it can't get stuck opposing to a hatchet

in medieval times, axes often got stuck in between ripcaches or inside a skull, thats the problem about them...

[apache25 133]

they would not play baseball in chernorussia

[CombatWombat (DayZ) 63]

brooms.

[dutch_miller 159]

i dont give a flying piss about dutch miller

I beg to differ.

[apache25 133]
