Update #16 - Halloween

Hi there!

I'm excited to release an update that focuses on extending the melee system by adding new status effects and new weapons.

Let's dive in!

Melee Extensions

Status
Description

Stun - Zombies that are stunned cannot move. Blunt melee weapons have a moderate chance to stun.

Decapitation - When attacking a zombie with a headshot, there is a chance the zombie will be decapitated. Bladed weapons are most suited to this task.

Kneecapping - A zombie that is kneecapped will instantly become a crawler regardless of remaining health. Some blunt melee weapons have a moderate chance to kneecap zombies.

New Weapons

Three new weapons have been added. Check them out!

Weapon Rebalances

Existing melee weapons have had decapitation and kneecapping chances added where applicable. Some weapons have been tuned.
