A new melee weapon.

Suggestion scope
Survivors.

Suggestion description
Basically, the shovel boils down to another melee weapon that players could use and feel powerful. Many people have gardens (and garden tools) or even just an old shovel they keep buried in their garages. When the outbreak hits, you're going to be looking for a weapon. What about that shovel? It's a melee weapon that starts out with 15% accuracy, which could go up to 30% with Hand to Hand Combat. It'd also sport 3 damage because, let's face it, a shovel can do some damage. To balance it out, it would be in out-of-the-way places (at least to high-level players that stick to the important stuff) such as Warehouses, Junkyards, and--why not--hardware stores. This would benefit the zeds as well because they could find players in places that are often shied away from. As some more balance, accuracy could be halved against barricades, because attacking barricades with a shovel doesn't make much sense. Besides, a shovel seems like a perfectly legitimate weapon to have in a zombie apocalypse.
