DayZ 1.17 Experimental - Spear issues
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

The new craftable spear is very nice, the animation is perfect! However while testing it I have found a few issues:

  1. When walking with the spear raised (holding RMB) there is no footstep sound effects. Infected can still detect you though, unknown if it is silent for other players.
  2. Damage is very underhwelming. The crafted spear takes some effort to craft and is difficult to handle in combat yet does feeble damage - when zombies get close you are better off using basically anything else. For that reason doing a heavy or running attack with the spear should have the potential to take down an infected in one hit provided you hit it in the head.
  3. Throwing them should ideally throw them as javelins and cause damage on hit.

Make a spear, raise hands, walk - you move without sound. Like a ninja! But infected magically hear you anyway...
