Steel Club or Steel Sledgehammer

[que]

I've always used the Steel Sledgehammer because, although it uses a lot of stamina, with the right perks you didn't use much and you practically killed most of the Zombies in one hit, but I have found that, using some perks like "Flurry of Blows" and others that they improve the bats, they do almost the same damage but they hit very fast.

Is it profitable when you have enough perks to use the Steel Club?

[OH! MY CAR]

Probably...

But you can just take the 3rd option and dump your points in miner and use the steel axe as a weapon, and you can max it out with only 7 points in strength.

Then your melee spec also makes you good at mining and breaking things.

Lately I've been doing a lot of questing, and when I'm clearing Tier Vs, I find the steel club is a lot faster at killing weakers zombies. So for pure speed, I go with club.

However, the Sledgehammer's AoE knockdown abilities make it excellent against groups of ferals/irradiated zombies, allowing you to save more ammo.

You can still fight ferals and irradiated zombies individually with the Steel Club, you just can't really fight them in groups, at least not very effectively in tight areas.

So to conclude:

1. Ammo Saver - Sledgehammer
2. Speed questing - Steel Club

If I had to pick, I'd still go with Sledgehammer overall, even after the nerf, but they both have their uses.

I prefer the sledge. Also don't worry too much about points. Late game you will have more points than you care to even spend and then, it simply doesn't matter where you put points.

Many people swear by DPS in games where combat and weapons are concerned.

How many times can you swing the club as compared to how many times you can swing the sledge, in the same amount of time ?

That's just as important, or more important maybe, than the stamina cost, which of course to me, makes the steel club shine the most and is the better choice, given the right perks also.

EDIT...

Actually, now that I think of it, pretty sure this game calculates it in attacks per minute, in the description for each weapon. It's there to the right on the stats screen for the weapon you are checking.

Also may depend on your playstyle, if you utilize stealth for crit hits or not...

I'm also pretty sure sledge has longer reach than the bat.

Club wins for me no question at all. It's OP, especially after completing the perk book series which REFILLS your stamina bar on any power attack kill with a club. That means unlimited stamina, which is pretty much god mode.

No doubt. Couple that with the book that allows no armor slow down in combat, and the player is a walking tank.

I do the same although I will be putting points into Pummel Pete this playthrough to try the Steel Club. I used to LOVE the Spiked Club in the older alphas (prior to the Baseball Bat's implementation). I do hate giving up that extra inventory slot though ;)

Karma there is a mod for the baseball bat that adds either a bleed or an armor stripper... and your club looks like a spiked club :)
