Balance stamina usage & damage accordingly. That way you have to balance it's power with its much lower durability. That in itself (imo) should be enough to tell everyone that it needs work. I can take a mass of zombies out with a spear, or a sledgehammer, or a club - and sure as hell with knuckles or a bat.īut stun baton? Wanna be good against a pack of Zed? You're reliant on using another tool to compensate.
So, I can say you're right - together they're pretty good.īut I think you're forgetting one thing: Every other weapon isn't reliant on dual-weaponry & keeping Zed within a small firing arc to be effective. My current build is 'Mechanical Engineer' so I'm using Turrets & Stun Baton (I feel it's character fitting). That thing does work when he's tanking with ranged support behind him. He's got the burning shaft mod in it, and is pretty heavily perked in the Int tree. Meanwhile, the Int build in my crew is loving the stun baton something fierce when we're clearing POIs.
