Description: Make zombies bleed by wrapping a powerful blunt weapon with some nasty teeth. Required Base Weapon: Sledgehammers, mauls, pickaxes. Required Ingredients: Weight Plate, Gears, Blade
In Riptide you gain weapon experience by getting kills with the weapon which in turn gives you bonuses with that weapon type. Each character should also have durability skills that either relate to their weapon type (blade, blunt) or the handed-ness of the weapon (two-handed or one-handed).
Why can I one-shot almost every zombie in the game by throwing a bladed weapon at them? On Xian I am lucky to do 1000 damage with a machete jump attack. But if I throw it, I rack up multiple hits of multiple thousands. Where is the incentive not to throw at every zombie? I already beat the game with Logan and while it was a blast, it was also far easier than any character I've played before.
