Nerf leg chopping

[R3AKT3M]

It's a tad bit to strong to be able to just cut down hordes solo with a knife because theres no limit to chopping legs on zombies

Think a diminishing returns think should be added to the melee weapons depending on if they are 1 handed or 2 handed and their tier

Or of course any other idea but I dont want to remove the leg chopping completely

I think it's ok. Outdoors might make a little easy, but if your in a crowded tight room situation even with leg chopping you might run out of stamina before you chop them all down.

This. Especially if it's a crowd.

I was able to cut down hordes with the knife. Imo it's a bit busted imo.

its even more busted if there is a crowd there is no downside to cutting off 5 zombie legs in a row. Trust me just get a machete or Hatchet and you win.

Cut off legs -> 2-3 same direction hits (heavy attack (NOT CHARGED ATTACK)) and you can wipe out hordes very quickly.

It also makes it broken in the sense crawlers cannot bite you it seems like in the first game. Maybe if they add this we can talk but as far as i've been able to tell crawlers just hit.


I think the fire axe is fine to chop multiple legs off but a knife should not be able to lol

There's every issue with trying to cut the legs off a horde in a tight space. It doesn't kill them, and if this is an actual horde we're talking about the rest are going to catch you when you run out of stamina, and then the crawlers are going to reach you because you took their legs instead of their heads.

In my experience the knife and hatchet can still require more than one swing sometimes, and it they seem to have a lower chance to remove any legs if it hits more than one target. It's fine IMO.

I hate the leg sweeping meta. If you want to push towards a location and people cut the legs, it makes everything more dangerous and difficult.

It is effective, but more for running away and not for doing objectives.

If chopping off both legs simultaneously is this easy, chopping off heads should be a breeze. NOT

I dare you to say nerf leg chopping after play Nightmare difficulty

Yep, most people have yet to see Nightmare.

The ease of leg sweeping should not be removed, but outright killing zeds with headshots should be the better alternative.

Yea this is what i'm requesting. I still feel silly cutting off legs with a kitchen knife though

Dear god an elf! flee for your lives!

idk about fireaxe but machete with hitman perk can also just headshot cleave two shot zombies, more risky than legs tho

Cutting legs is a viable counter to the "$h;t"spawning zombies in already cleared areas.
You dont have the No More Room in Hell 1's ability to circlestrafe zombies with walking anymore so as to group the newly $sh;tspawned zombies so as to pass-by since you get lunged at RE:Outbreak style the instant you're in the aggro zone.

Hitting the Head and Hitting the Legs have two different uses (speedrunning and stalling, appropriately) and being able to rely on something in a game that has "LoS block only" spawn rule is a Must, otherwise you'd be swarmed with no tools other than "the only winning way is a speedrun until they spawn" or area waltz-in-waltz-out to despawn enemies.

Ran some nightmare games. Yea I still think its strong and this makes bladed weapons a much better pick over blunt

[Vivi]

I tried this with the knife you don't typically chop legs off with a normal one click attack. It's a charge attack that cuts off the legs which gives you 3-4 swings before you run out of stamina keep in mind this is without perks for melee like one handers do extra damage or athlete, adrenaline etc. Not overpowered at all imo and definitely has a limit. In a tight room that you have 30, or more zombies coming at you(not even counting the shielded ones) this is not gonna work by itself without running out of stamina.

with how often I end up hitting their arms and hands they happen to have lowered just the right time to block their legs from getting hit even if i'm crouch slashing, I ain't in favor for a nerf.
