Any blunt melee weapon should require two hands to be effective

Crowbar.  durable as balls.

lol, exactly how durable IS that exactly?

 

we talking Bocci? Billiards? Ping pong?

 

Brass, perhaps?

Testicles are an inefficient point of reference when discussing durability.

This is -so- being sig'd

 

That being said, the average survivor in PZ seems to have big clanging brass ones, considering how often people dive into the centre of West Point without cleaning it out...

Are you sure? Rotting zombies seems to go down easily when you use the claw end, plus it's stealthier so you don't make a loud 'thunk' sound that occurs when you smack a zombie's skull with one.

 

The blunt end would burst the skull and cause brain damage, but how much trauma is needed to kill a zombie?

 

The claw end would penetrate a tiny section of the skull, and dig into the brain, thus instantly killing said zombie as it causes permanent damage right away.

 

Of course the latter techinique would take up more time and focus, as you gotta aim properly and then yank the hammer out of the skull, which won't work very well in a crowd control situation.

 

Maybe add the ability to 'execute' zombies via stealth by sneaking up one one and attacking it to use a special execution animation? If you go panic or is seen by any zombies you aren't stealth and would use a normal hammer attack.

 

Like in Dead Rising 2, when you swing a nail bat at a zombie you can choose to 'execute' them and stick the nail into the skull rather than swing the bat normally, though the former takes up more time.

 

This game needs a machete.
