The Decapitator, does it apply to all weapons?

[Joe]

In regards to The Decapitator skill that increases chance of dismemberment. Does this skill only apply to blade/knife weapons? Because the description doesn't mention that. Currently I am on day 10 and I use blunt weapons to kill zombies. I leveled up The Decapitator skill thinking it will work with my blunt weapon.

Thanks

It seems that it only affects Bone Shiv, Hunting Knife and Machete:

I decapitate zeds with my crossbow, bow, spiked club on a regular basis. Guns work too.

Any weapon you hit a enemy with has a chance to cause dismemberment. I've exploded heads with a 25 quality wooden club before. Its rare but i've seen it happen.

Very true, you don't need the Decapitor Perk to be able to decapitate/dismember. In my current playthrough, my yellow quality Barbed Wire Club is doing plenty of it (no points put into Pummel Pete either).

I believe it's one of those perks that haven't been fully fleshed out yet and I wouldn't be surprised if it was removed or replaced with something else. I've never put points into this perk myself so I'm really not sure what the difference would be.

Yep, it is somewhat of a useless / redundant perk
You get plenty of heads popping with plenty of weapons without it

Add in that you one shot most zombies in low-mid difficulties pretty much from the get go, and later in harder difficulties too, so,decapitation is not really needed at all

Dead in one shot with head or without head is dead the same...
Fine if it is a free effect, but paying perk points for that, no...
