When choosing a weapon?

[Krazee DD]

I have a question for everyone.

Now your looking for a melee weapon to take down a attacking zombie. What characteristics or "stats" do you look for?

Swing speed, weight, etc....

What are others to look for?

[SnowFlakes]

Well im looking for the weight mostly cuz thats gonna do alot of damage and if i can add nails or w/e on it to do more damage that would be lovely :)

Heavy things do big damage right, but lighter things do less damage but are quite a bit easier to handle?

It's a give and take thing.

I'm gonna get myself a heavy twohanded Sword, run around and shout "I'm a Demoknight" randomly around (TF2 reference)

Other than that I'll be mostly looking for guns.

You got a point easy to handle but it wont be doing the damage that you want you will basicly be smacking them around a couple times why not get the job done faster then giving the other zombies enough time to get closer :P

I'm sad, i just generally only use weapons i like the look of >.<

[DeathforPresident]

i look for something in the middle that weighs a good amount but you can still swing it at a pretty good speed

[TheVitaoBR]

A light weapon of course cuz is quicklier, and some explosives...imagine, planting C4 in zombies's head....loool this game will be aewsome....

[Krazee DD]

If you were to give stat categories to the weapons, what would they be?

[Tasty]

weight/damage

[SnowFlakes]

Have you guys heard about the deodorant bombs lol thats crazyyy i might be using that xD

[RainxOcampo]

Light and quick i wanna make my stamina last longer than it would with a slow and heavy weapon

[Recon]

things that stick and kill
thats all that matters for me

[Kallusiive]

Heavy is important in some instances, but I think the ability to keep my distance from the zed is the most important aspect. If I have a short sledgehammer or something and things get up close and personal, it is all to easy to get some zed blood in my eye or in a cut or something...

[Toquina]

I suppose if i had to pick, i would use revolvers. I don't know why but i like slow single bullet guns ^^ with heavy reloads

Do you mean 'slow' as in slower shooting or slower bullets? Because most revolvers are chambered in rounds that run a lot hotter than semi autos...

[SaNTiLLi14]

Well the weapons stats are listed as Damage, Force, Durability, and Handling so i think u would want a pretty good balance between all of those

Ooooo durability. I need that one.

[Venomous72]

Yeah, I will equate durability to reliability and that would be the most important to me as well...

As in ummm you fire slowly with it, due to the heavy reloading ^^

Ah gotcha. Yes I have always thought revolvers are great zed guns too.

i know what i would take,a solid titanium rod at least 30 cm long so that it can still be used indoors without hitting every wall, with a leather grip so that it wont slip out of my hands when im fighting multiple zombs with a sharpend tip :D that would be the ultimate stabbing/slashing blunt weapon for 1 on 1/ small groups on zombs.... sigh but DI will never have that T^T.... or will they O_O
