Slower Zombies

If you wear a trenchcoat and rucksack and try to melee, you’re gonna have a bad time.

If you want to run though, just keep your legs, feet, and mouth as clear as possible.

I’ve never been good with stuff like that. I just kinda wear anything that gives me inventory space

This is why you die. Keep check of your encumbrance levels.

My 13+ lvl unarmed martial artist character has no problem with 2 or 3 notches on the encumberance scale, altough he was careful about that around 8-9 lvl of skill (or so). Against such a skirmisher as a Mi-Go or Z-9 there is little doubt to employing some sort of tactic, and a Grabber Z is another perfect occasion to stop and think about movement and enemy ranks.
Be it as it must, you oughta get hurt fighting different opposition. Being able to heal yourself and defy pain is a number one concern for any melee character. Obtaining and maintaining a firearm is the key to enjoying a long, succesful CataDDA run with any character; a couple of shotgun shells is all the difference between a Hulk and you.

Hulk? Not really. I once emptied a RivTech autoshotgun into a hulk at point blank range. Then he killed my character (who was a melee god btw).

Wha- WHAT?!

Unless you have a 10 in all of your combat skills, that should not be happening.

well some robots kill me without problem (chicken walker, tank bot) and some netherworld creatures can hurt me too but its rare most zombies do not scratch me z animals and other mutants are still pain where i need to bring out my shotgun

@Murphy - you know that a Hulk packs a definite number of HPs, do you?
I know you’re just kidding - it’s that one pack of folks or another here at the forums aren’t exactly brimming with confidence in the presence of a superior enemy; a Mi-Go is a feature much appreciated - if you’re into the melee thing - altough learning to shoot still has different perks than unloading on a single oppo.

Murphy · 2014-09-14T17:26:56.000Z

Yeah. Definite (and finite) number of HPs.

They’re killable but they can do you in if you’re not careful. Even if your character is very advanced.

That char I had, he didn’t have any firearm skill, btw. Melee-based.

Valpo · 2014-09-14T17:48:55.000Z

You can t call yourself a meele god unless you handle a hulk in meele barehanded .
Well i guess it depends what prerequisites you define yourself before you call something godlike but id say your standarts aren t high enough in that case :3

Arek_PL · 2014-09-14T18:12:27.000Z

i killed hulk with crowbar

I killed one with a plastic bottle filled with tee. ALWAYS reinforce your plastic bottles! x3

I’ve killed a jabberwock with a spoon.

Somehow now i can t get the picture of a lil bloodsoaked ninja wielding a spoon situated on a … for the lack of batter words “spooned” mutant corpse outa my head. There should be some special text messages for using a spoon on an enemy like “you scooped out a chunk of x”

Murphy · 2014-09-15T10:06:42.000Z

I sense a Horribly Slow Murderer with the Extremely Inefficient Weapon reference.

Also, with regards to what I call melee god…
Similar stats had previously allowed me to melee hulks barehanded. Before the armor nerf, that is.

you died during fighting a jabberwock with spoon

FunsizeNinja123 · 2014-09-16T22:10:00.000Z

But I killed two!

Nighthawk · 2014-09-17T04:24:41.000Z

I really dislike the way speed works in Cata, honestly. It doesn’t feel true to life, not even close. That’s why sprinting/stamina is one of several things I really want in the game.

but if/when this makes it in, i also want normal move speeds to be lower than what they are now to compensate.
