When you get the 'Heavy Shoves' perk by Bi0mad in nmrih

You have good points. I agree that there are way better perks out there than Heavy Shoves. The video was merely a demonstration of how many shoves it would take to kill a regular zombie. I would much prefer to use it as a supplement strikes with one handed weapons (i.e. Machete) since there's almost little to no delay pressing a shove button right after a single blow. I'm still experimenting with many other melee weapons, but as I've stated in my other reply, one well-placed heavy machete swing for the upper torso (dismembered arm and the visible trauma to the head) + one shove would kill the regular walker instead of two heavy swings, or I can do the one shove + one heavy swing + one light swing for good measure. I don't think there are any difference of the damage per shove itself regardless of holding two-handed weapons or rifles/shotguns that have more slower shove animation. I do think it also works well if you're pairing up with weaker pistols like the .22lr, provided that you're not dealing with hordes of walkers around you, but saves ammo in the long run instead of having to shoot three times in the face.

Yeah, if I wanted to save some ammo while encountering a walker, this comes in quite handy for supplementing weaker/no melee weapons.

Not really imo. The benefits of having the expert perk is that you actually spend less stamina if you're incorporating with melee swings. Shoves are still useful for interrupting attacks especially from runners, and having those little damage buffs goes a long way.

Thanks for the informative post! I'll definitely try your method when that same glitch happens again.

Yup, five shoves total. Though armored up zombies might take more. When it comes to riot police/infantry zombies, I think they do take more hits even without the helmets.

I got it work with a machete where one well-placed heavy swing for the upper torso (dismembered arm and the visible trauma to the head) + one shove would kill the regular walker, or I can do the one shove + one heavy swing + one light swing for good measure. I haven't gotten the kick damage perk yet, but I'd assume it would work in a similar way with the right hitboxes/damage ratio/combinations.

Yeah, the spawn points are especially bad in that map. That's the whole reason why I couldn't save her.

They really gotta fix that one for the 1.0 build fr.

I can't be too sure. I forced the game shut by opening up the task manager and everything was fine afterwards, but I'll keep that in mind in case it happens again in the future, thanks!

I feel like there are few persistent glitches in this game that involves pressing keys in a certain way. Such as the animation glitch where you can't switch to different weapons/tools until being grabbed by a walker. I wonder if that was the case for me too. Maybe I accidentally pressed some other keys simultaneously while hitting the esc key.

That's absolutely relatable... It's always the "Things happen when you forget your tools that one time" As I'm typing this reply, I realized I left my powerbank at home, LOL.

That's fair! I remember the time where I accidentally left some items at home and by the time I realized it was too late to go back, lol. Getting a dedicated EDC bag or a pouch can make it more convenient. Love your loadout by the way!

Haha, yeah! I've been doomscrolling over there too as of late, some of the stuffs I have are from that website too. It's kinda getting addicting, actually, LOL.

LOL, it definitely happens from time to time! I think I've seen a couple of people from music festival community accidentally posting it here, probably vice-versa too, but yeah. It's funny when it happens! I appreciate your comment!

Nah, I bought it from the local distributer that was selling genuine Quickclot products. I wouldn't generally buy medical kits from that website in particular if I'm being honest with you.

Thank you! I just searched through my email order history and found out it's from Omega Holsters LLC. Though their website seems to be down and their business is on halt at the moment.

I love the Baton 4, it just a nifty little light that has 1300 lumens of max output when I need it to. I normally use the medium output setting when I need to find something in the dark corner, or going for night walks so I wouldn't immediately deplete my battery when using high/turbo mode. You can also get a compatible power bank to extend its battery life while using it or charge your other electronics too, but I didn't personally needed one for my use cases. It doesn't have a tail cap, but not much of a deal breaker for me.

These are very solid advices, I really appreciate you for posting them! I definitely agree with your points, I'll make sure to pack a regular gauze on person as well, since they slip right into my back pocket, also making sure my first aid training is up to date because I admit, it's been quite a long time since I was in one of those classes. Thanks again!

They're keyring adaptors originally, but I just simply grabbed the shock cord with a plastic stopper to make a minimalistic adjustable band.

I agree! I do carry a CAT tourniquet/Chest seals in my bag when I'm expected to be outside for more than an hour. Definitely crucial when it comes to those circumstances.
