Clubs still have vastly higher damage output than sledge. Originally posted by JimmyIowa:First, take it with a grain of salt if someone says their favorite weapon is "king". Again, be prepared for what you are getting into. And taking literally 5 hits in between underwater-motion swings. Well, with a sledge that means you are now attacking in slow motion. I can tell you since I fight the blood moon horde toe-to-toe with no easy settings like walking zeds : when you take an arm injury (new in A19), your attacks slow down by some percent. But if you tend to be a left mouse button spammer in most games then sledge is going to get you killed, and probably quite frustrated at later stages of the game against multiple running enemies.Īnother problem with sledge in A19.

The sledge defensive knockdown can pay off with good aim. And that can be a trap for people who aren't prepared for later. Which is is a very bad combo.įair warning: Early on the sledge feels like a god weapon to new people. However, missing just a single time means you are out 81 stamina, which may mean you can't swing again.or run either. Because the 30 stamina boost from trex on a kill makes up for some of it. Yes, it is highly effective IF you are a good aim and connect with enemy heads consistently.

"King" is very subjective in this case I guess.Īside from having lower dps, steel sledge power attack uses a huge amount of stamina (81). Levels + max stamina food help a lot the more stamina you have the more you regenerate per tick.įirst, take it with a grain of salt if someone says their favorite weapon is "king". Iron sledge is when you should decide if you like the sledge or not. In my opinion anything besides the sledge requires too many hits higher chances to trigger rage mode, in melee longer so more chances to make mistakes and get hit in return.īaseball bats ( clubs with longer range) are what i would recommend if you cant stand the slow speed of the sledge. High tech options are water purifier in helm and stack of murky water spam drink to stack the 15% stamina regen buff.

Healing factor ( bugged currently and draining food each time it heals you) The harder the difficulty the less fun the other melee weapons are for me.Īny melee build will want to max Sex Trex to help with stamina costs.Įrgonomic grip on melee weapon of choice. The one hit kill, Area knockdowns, and leaving your pick and axe at home.(when not mining / harvesting) Sledge is still the king, requires investment to make the high stamina costs not feel stupidly punishing.
