Heavy weapon
| Timestamp: | 13:40, 6 June 2006 (BST) |
| Type: | Melee Weapon |
| Scope: | Survivors |
| Description: | Literally, a weapon which is heavy rather than a cannon or machine gun etc. Because of the weapon's weight, players carrying a heavy weapon would be unable to freerun. Since free-running is one of survivors' most important skills this is a major loss for them, and so, for anyone to want to use it, it needs a BIG advantage over the other weapons.
The advantage it has is its damage/AP ratio. This melee weapon does five damage per hit, at up to 40% to hit. (25% base accuracy, +15% with hand-to hand combat). For comparison, the fire axe does 3 damage at up to 40% accuracy, and the pistol does 5 damage at up to 65% accuracy. Not being able to free run means that players with the item in their inventory would have to search for/create VS buildings. I think this would lead to an increase in the number of buildings kept at VS, which would be good for both zombies and low-level survivors. Details: Found in auto-repair shops at 10%, called 'car axle' or 'concrete block'. (I'm really not in love with the name; if you can think of something better, please mention it in your vote.) Damage is not affected by flak jacket. |
