Melee Weapons

Melee Weapons

Melee Weapons are weapons that one can hold in there hand and attack an opposing player/animal/NPC. Some weapons can grant other effects, like the machete allows one to chop jungle, or the shovel allows one to dig. Attacking is simple, simply select your target with the drop down menu, and then select which weapon to use with the other menu, and click. Settings will be saved until the target is killed, or one runs out of AP.

Special Melee Weapon Events

There is a rare chance when attacking with a melee weapon the player will receive this message, "Maybe it's luck or maybe it's skill, your attack is right on target and inflicts more damage than normal. You attack [the target] for 5 damage.", which is considered a critical hit (heavy swords do critical amounts for 7 damage). Other times one gets this message, "Unlucky or just clumsy? The blade snaps off and you're left holding the handle, which you discard.", which breaks your weapon. See Special weapon event odds for more information on these special attacks.
