Hit impact of shovel and pitchfork is unsatisfying

[Gabe Freeman]

it feels like a bug, just not satisfying with that impact sound on zombie, the sound of blood overwhelmed the original weapon sound, am i the only one who notice this ?

[Rylanor the Unyielding]

Yeah I agree, it almost feels as though it's a bug.
I don't mind the shovel too much, but I tend to avoid the pitch fork. It's not really fun to use.
For comparison my favourite weapons are the katana, and machete.

[α E-MAN-cipation Ω]

They're both horrible weapons, atleast if you play on highest difficulty.

I don't think the devs have ever held a shovel, never mind banging something with it on accident. It most definitely is not a "fwomp" sound, but more of a "fffkonk" sound. Something in between of a combo of the frying pan and golf club.

You know they probably have a katana and a stand in their room along with some star war posters on the wall. Surprise they didn't add scythe into game.

If you do happen to have the need to slay with a pitchfork.
I recommend Mordhau or even better, Chivalry 2.

[The Mighty Mighty BossTofu]

I never pick up this buggy ♥♥♥♥ again.
Worst things in whole game!

[SkyRunner]

shovel is the best beteween the two and the shovel is pretty good but everyone prefer sharp melee

[Sharpie The Dragon]

Pitchfork is broken, doesn't work. Probably worst melee weapon up there with nightstick because all it does is go right through the smokers face as I hit it.

[Waiting to Visit Japan (^.-)]

Hilarious.

[Sonya]

Yeah, someone need to borrow the shovel sounds from Postal 2 and make an addon to put em in this game.

Why did you do that to yourself? Did you lose a bet?

He come here to make himself look like a fool. Never gave any constructive criticism. Making more people to dislike American patriot is his passion.

You're certainly not wrong. Shovel has a weird, hollow bonky sound like you're hitting something with an empty metal container or something. Plus that weird thing the shovel does where it flips around and looks like you're swinging the handle outward instead of the head of the shovel.

The devs have never worked in any manual labour job in real life. Maybe not even taking care of his own yard.

Problem with Pitchfork is how early and low the first hitboxes are delivered, they tend to hit the legs which afterwards can't hit anywhere else, leaving the specials alive because limb hits don't kill in 1 hit. You can actually see those even start up, go up slightly, down and up again, they really need to fix that.

Shovel though is a axe clone with no slashing properties.

I wanted to reply and express that the Tonfa used to suck, they fixed it. Now it's the CS:S Knife that is horrible, like you gotta wonder why they even bothered to change something that already worked backwards in term of first swing which made leveling chargers really hard compared all the other melees that starts from right to left.
