Playing experimental 199cb84
I started a new character and played around with jacking the item spawn rate as high as it could go. Never did it before, figured it would be neat (turns out it makes lots and lots of rocks). I came across some wreckage which contained tons and tons of gear. Naturally I equipped multiple layers of military grade defensive equipment and merrily went to town to throw rocks at zombies. Like ya do.
I didn’t notice it right away, but my character was blocking attacks despite having no style.
At first I though you guys might have changed it so that when your armor protects you the game says you ‘blocked’ it, in addition to displaying the usual, ‘but they couldn’t get through your armor’ message.
However, I then remembered that zombies, for the most part, throw all their punches dead center. 80% percent of the time they’re hitting your torso, occasionally hitting somewhere else.
But almost every single one of their attacks was hitting an arm or a leg, meaning my character was actually performing a martial arts block despite having no style, and was doing both arm and leg blocks.
Also, blocking still worked while wielding a M1911.
