DayZ - Knife/overall melee balancing
New, NormalPublic

Description

Please buff the knives of the game.

I met a player at the northern airfield. I immediately shot him one time in the head (didn't have magazine) with a M4-A1 then i switched to my combat knife and started furiously stabbing him.. low and behold he misses every shot he takes and has to reload. You'd think he is fucked right? I'm over here stabbing him 20 times in the stomach whilst he is reloading. He reloads and is still not dead, he finally hits me with 2 shots and we both die... Just to put that into perspective, i was stabbing him for a solid 10 seconds.

In games like GTA (example) knives take a few stabs at most to make the guy go unconscious. I really want melee weapons to actually be worth using in battle, but this experience i just had proved that you should use a gun every single time even if you are in the guys face.

Please fix this, i want to go up to a guy and stab him without needing to do so for half a minute straight.

Guy had a military carry vest (no armor), a military helmet on his head (green helmet) and a (what looked like) mp5 with silencer.

I had a pristine combat knife, a military helmet, a military carry vest and an m4a1 with 1 bullet per mag (because i had no mag)
