Cannot hit zombie

[Martell]

Just started the game after 2 years. Died twice while trying to hit a zombie with an axe. Although he was close to me I did not hit him. How am I supposed to play the game if I cannot even hit an enemy and why is this still a problem???

i dont realy think u can hit the infected ones with the axe, i think axe is for chopping wood, use instead baseball bat, hand gun, and other items clearly recognized as a weapon, but im not sure / im fresh as well to the game

This is one of the most ridiculous gameplay decisions that i've ever seen...
It's a shame, could have been a good game.

There are a lot of things the dev hasn't 'turned on' from the old map in this beta version. Also there are some bugs from version 4 that he has reproduced in v5. It is what it is. I am not a fan of the dev, I just like to play the game in that because of the bugs it is challenging to play.

wow giving up so quick, you not learnt anything about survival, its so easy to blame the dev when 9/10 its your own fault, so if an axe didnt work for you, did you make a wood spear ? used a gun ? how close was you to the infected as they are not zombie by the way, you get time from the first start of the mist before the infected start to come around, give you plenty of time to get some where high, or was you acting like a rambo thinking your the stronger one, learn the game before you start blaming the dev, we how as played this game have learnt to work around some of the bugs, yes its hard but life hard so man up

When there is one such decision, then there will be several of that kind. I've seen it often enough, and I simply don't waste my time in such a case. If it doesn't matter for you: Fine, have fun!

I just gave up on this game. The dev changed map again and buildings don't even have interior. I also tried to kill a zombie with a knife, but also couldn't seem to hit it. This dev should fix all the bugs before adding new content. I'll just play The Infected at this point, they have done it much better than this game. Only thing I'll do is just keeping track of the updates and that's it really.

try aiming a little bit to the right whenever you use any melee weapon.

You have to be touching the infected to hit them with tools like axes and knives, it's so busted. They can smack you long before you're close enough for tools to make contact.

Use spears to poke them in the face, or if you're on 0.5beta, you can sneak up behind them and "execute" them with a knife (a prompt appears hold ___ to execute).
