With respect to the Hatchet, a grey variant isn't close to the combat knife at all because while their stamina usage and dmg per hit are the same, the attack speed and therefore dps is significantly higher on the combat knife. You would actually need a blue hatchet to beat the knife on dps, the only thing you would get from a higher rarity hatchet is stumble per hit. Ontop of that when dealing with volatiles using the knife, all you gotta do is crouch and aim at torso/legs to never hit heads, with a hatchet or a fire axe you literally have to look at the ground to be relatively sure you will never hit heads. Knife is also amazing because it allows you to have your shotgun out while killing commons, which makes it very easy to take out sleepers while pushing at a good pace, this is especially true if you find a good 870 or Tac14 and then you will most likely never have to worry about reekers and anything below it on stumble hp. While a hatchet has fast jog move speed, having your primary out also allows you to make use of the speed boost from lightweight stocks.

And it's this reason I believe they'll either nerf or remove the combat knife entirely as it makes melee weapons rather irrelevant. And you could literally run combat knife, face your fears, and vanguard and then just run gun cards and now you have a melee tank that can shoot with the best of them. I really think they didn't play test these cards well enough. I love the game but the card system adds to much focus to things that aren't the actual game not to mention how exploitable it is.

Good points but you should compare the knife to hatchet + 1 damage card because the knife uses a card slot. I still wouldn't take the hatchet for the reasons you mentioned (overheads only which is a terrible design)

@@Kawa856 yea, I builds in general were a bad decision for this game. Maybe a cleaner based campaign build where they give you trees to invest in between every map but allowing cards and decks right out of the gate is probably the reason for the months of updates and fixes because of balance. I think a tree within the game based on the cleaner would streamline it and make it more accessible. Instead of run like hell being a card it's an ability for evangelo which you can take that or cross trainers or something. You can focus being a runner for the sake of the level or cards. It makes each cleaner more unique and less to plan around for your campaigns. At least the vision I have does haha.

My Shotgun/melee hybrid build for Holly. Get 3 cards to get 100% accuracy so you can snipe with shotgun. Then also get Meth Head (melee speed/stamina efficiency). Good synergy since you lose aim down sights with Meth Head anyways and dont need it with the shotgun snipe, it focuses all of the pellets into one spot because of the boosted accuracy

For Meth Head, when it mentions that your melee attack "doesn't get stuck in enemies," what does it mean exactly? I don't get my bat stuck in specials, or commons, unless i'm out of stamina. Is that the only thing that it offers? Or is there something else I am missing?

Support scavenger is amazing and i often run it. Utility scavenger is also amazing, because you suddenly don`t have to spend 350-700 for a toolkit or 250-500 for defibs EVERY map. They spawn so frequently, and often you can use an extra toolkit on an alarmed door saving you some trouble sometimes.

I can't seem to find the answer for this question I have about melee, regarding cleave weapons. I'm a newer player, so I don't really have the cards available for a solid melee build yet. Do the hits register along the full arc of the swing animation? Curious because if you swing the camera with the animation, would it be possible to artificially "increase" the arc of the swing?

Depends on what type of player you are, if your melee build is tanky and can deal tons of damage and are able to take care of specials easily, yes. If you are in a strong more of common clearing deck I wouldn’t include it. It would be better to just use a bat or machete in my opinion. I normally don’t have it in my deck but if I see it in one of those buy a card thing I snag it cus of the better utilization of the fire axe and hatchet as well as being unable to run along with the invincibleness of melee makes me feel like the terminator.

@@sabes44 My general feeling is this. Support scavenger may save some money, but my main purpose of using it would be to heal often throughout the map, keeping you from using the 400 copper cabinet - so money saving but also general survivial. Offensive scavenger I don't use very often. It would save most money if you have several slots to keep picking up the equipment, so it can save money. Comparing to support scav, an extra grenade could save you from LOSING hp, therefore kind of working like support scav. I still prefer support scav though, cause you're going to lose hp anyways.
