Hi there!
I'm excited to release an update that focuses on extending the melee system by adding new status effects and new weapons.
Let's dive in!
[Game] Melee Extensions
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
 |
Stun - Zombies that are stunned cannot move. Blunt melee weapons have a moderate chance to stun. |
 |
Decapitation - When attacking a zombie with a headshot, there is a chance the zombie will be decapitated. Bladed weapons are most suited to this task. |
 |
Kneecapping - A zombie that is kneecapped will instantly become a crawler regardless of remaining health. Some blunt melee weapons have a moderate chance to kneecap zombies. |
[Equipment] New Weapons
Three new weapons have been added. Check them out!
[Balance] Weapon Rebalances
Existing melee weapons have had decapitation and kneecapping chances added where applicable. Some weapons have been tuned.
| Weapon | Changes |
|---|---|
| Axe | Decapitation => 70% |
| Bat (wire) | Damage [80-115] to [80-105] Stun => 40% Kneecap => 30% |
