How does muscle strain work?

[TheOofertaffy]

I know a lot of people are complaining about the feature, but what is it? Is it like fatigue when you worked out in B41? Does anyone know how it entirely works? Any insight is appreciated.

No you just need to take short breaks between killing zombies with bigger weapons. Muscle strain rates are different for various weapons, for example there is a lot less muscle strain from using a knife compared to a long blunt weapon at low levels, not sure about higher levels.

Your weapon skill works against it, as does your "regularity" like with exercise. Like the other guy said choose lighter weapons, take your time and focus on ground executions early on and it's fine. After or week or so it's barely an issue.

It seems to have been added as you can craft long blades and really strong spears now, so you have to invest more into being able to use those weapons effectively as they're so powerful.

Go screwdriver for solos and keep your best weapon for groups.
