The no damage axe

[FluffyBunnyFee 99]

Not sure if this has been brought up before, but the axe does no damage when striking a player with it. I used to love being able to sneak up on a sniper in the woods camping a mission and lumberjacking him while he was too busy looking through his optic to notice me....is the axe ever going to do damage again? I miss my humiliation kills......

For me the axe is dealing damage but only in a very very small hitbox.

I have played across multiple servers, and have yet to find one where any of these items do damage.   Though it was pretty hilarious to watch an admin set up a lumberjack event and totally ignore me telling him they don't do damage........20 guys hacking away at each other for nothing.  Quite entertaining.

I killed a AI with a axe once    he was glitching through a door, so couldn't shoot me :

Yeah, it used to work, until about 2 updates ago.  Now it is useless (aside from the whole chopping wood thing LOL).

i haven't even tested the axe after they didn't do any damage at all. Although it used to be fun to Humiliate some1 with the axe kills.

Dang i mis those moments that i had an axe only and hear 1 running in the building i'm looting and he walks in checks gear..........Dang i miss those moments

Yea it would be nice to have a better hitbox, but honestly my biggest pet peeve with it is I cant really run well with it, so by the time I get near a person whose sitting still he hears my footsteps and kills me, I dont know maybe im just trash.

I'd like to see axes actually be useful in PvP. They were once in Day Z standalone and I loved it. I really had my hopes up for the axe is this mod. It's basically just a base building tool at this point, which doesn't make sense considering that some servers have bonus respect for axe kills. It's a broken aspect of the game at this point, which is a bummer considering how incredible everything else is.

did you use the combat walk? cuz i can hear those but when using combat walk than Walk ( w+s under standard control config ) they hardly hear you, unless they have a good 7.1 headset
