Mod for switching hands.?
This is Luca. Luca is a survivor. Waking up and having to flee fast because his prior mechanic friends are no longer interested in cars but rather him, and the girl he was in love with tried to rather unpleasent bite him multiple times, he jump trough a window.
But oh no, glass was in it.

Now his right hand, he always was using in person training, got badly injured and has glass in it.

There are 3 zombies inbetween him and a first aid kit, and randomly there is a hand axe on the floor.


But poor luca cant pick it up with his left hand....everytime he tries the hand axes teleports out of his left hand back on the floor.
He is forced to use his completly wastes right hand.
Luca dies, doing exactly 0,1 dmg per hit cause his hand is trash.

Please devs, is there really no option to change combat hands?
This is the apokalypse, if I loose the abilities in my right hand, I use my left to fight, no matter if its my main hand or not.

Or is it true, and the left hand is the one of the devil?
Does it matter? In the world of the devil running around?

Character in PJ gets injured in left hand: Doesnt matter, left hands are worthless. Looting takes half a second longer.
Character in PJ gets injured in right hand: Have fun hitting zombies 12 times to kill now instead of 4 as before.
Complet worthless combat for multiple days.

My character has strenght level 9. Even when using a non main hand, he would still hit like a truck. Level 9 strenght is close to Klitschko level.

The combat nerf with wounded hand is sad indeed when your life depends on it.

I found when I injure my hands and compromise damage, I can knock down and stomp heads instead. Its not switching hand for hand, but it is using uninjured feet instead of busted hand.

I understand the nerf. But when you have a hand axe, and the right hand you holding in gets useless.

Would you rather then try to push a group of 8 zombies over and stomb them, which is outright impossible with more then 3,
or just take the axe in the left hand and kill people with?

When my right foot gets injured, I also dont start walking on my arms do I?
I see the nerf, but I dont see any logical reason for you left hand having zero purpose exept holding a bag.
As you said, you life depends on fighting, so cutting of your left arm having zero impact on your character exept shifting things slower, but injuring the right hand being a game over?
Just use ya left hand if your life depends on it. Thats why I asked for a mod, I dont expect this weird thing to ever, in my opinion, be -fixed- .

I don't know if this would be a solution, but I know there are dual wielding mods out there, maybe they have that sort of function? I haven't ever thought to look into it but it's got to at least be worth looking into.

Edit/update:
I haven't tried this mod, but appears to be precisely what your hoping for. Maybe?

hmm I seach for dual wield. Im not even trying to find like OP attack with 2 hammers at same time mods. Just a mod that, when my right hand is unjured, im not completly unable to do combat for half a week, but isntead use that level 9 strenght so just put my weapon in the left hand, even if for a little redcued speed.

The vanilla system is far beyond realistic, what people claim this game to often be.
