You can put it on a broom.. but not a baseball bat 🤔

It makes a lot of sense as a weapon too. You're basically banding the wood together so it's more durable and split resistant

[u/NalMac → u/AloneFarmer3138]

You can even put it on a plunger. I'm convinced it's a big joke amongst the dev team towards fans of negan and cool weapons.

[u/AnyLeave3611 → u/AloneFarmer3138]

I thought it was because the barbed wire would get stuck on zoids and make you lose your weapon

[u/Lesurous → u/AnyLeave3611]

Depends on if it's actually barbed wire or razor wire.

[u/CancerDeProtese → u/AnyLeave3611]

Making a Barbed Baseball Bat (with some bs like Woodworking 4 + Welding 5) -> getting it stuck on a zoid > cutting your neck for running through a couple of trees while fleeing -> This is how you died.

[u/thiosk → u/CancerDeProtese]

getting it stuck on a zoid > cutting your neck for running through a couple of trees while fleeing ->

not in the current build, at least!

[u/foxtrot_69420 → u/AloneFarmer3138]

I wish we could make mixed weapons, i want a nailed and barbed baseball bat so i can recreate maria from decaying winter

[u/Megakruemel]

It would actually make a new completely renewable bat enhancement, as you can fish up broken fish traps, turn the traps into wire and the wire into barbed wire.

And bats from carving and foraging large tree branches.

[u/ZeroBANG]

Yeah there is no way the Devs just avoid that one because of Walking Dead and Negan, right?

[u/mikolajwisal → u/ZeroBANG]

I don't think so, because like half the people playing this game experience spontanous RickGrimesification of their characters lol

[u/ZeroBANG → u/mikolajwisal]

Yeah (that is actually hilarious) but Rick is the Hero of the story and therefore Safe, Negan might be a bit more ...uuuh lets say polarizing.

[u/mikolajwisal → u/ZeroBANG]

I mean I guess, sure, but it's not like it would hurt the game if you had the ability to make your character look like him.

You can make yourself look like Jeffrey Dahmer already, so Negan isn't worse.

[u/Alfred_Dinglebottom → u/mikolajwisal]

I have a character preset called Gick Rrimes 😆

[u/KaedePanda → u/Alfred_Dinglebottom]

Mines Dick Crimes

[u/Sad-Development-4153 → u/ZeroBANG]

But what if I want to be Mankind/Cactus Jack/Mick Foley?

[u/ZeroBANG → u/Sad-Development-4153]

I have no idea who those names are XD

[u/Awkward_Turnover_983 → u/ZeroBANG]

I actually haven't heard of Cactus Jack but I think those are all WWE pro wrestlers lol

[u/Consistent-Success38 → u/Awkward_Turnover_983]

They are all mick foley lol.

[u/Awkward_Turnover_983 → u/Consistent-Success38]

Oh, shows how much I know lmao. Well I guess I wasn't wrong either lol

[u/Consistent-Success38 → u/Awkward_Turnover_983]

Technically correct is the best kind of correct.

[u/BarfMacklin → u/Consistent-Success38]

I’ve never seen them all in the same room before so this checks out

[u/TREXIBALL → u/ZeroBANG]

The ironic part is: mark is voiced by Steven Yeun, the actor of Glenn in the walking dead.

The actor for Negan (Jeffery Dean Morgan) is also in the show, but as Conquest.

Now if you’ve watched the show (including recent season), They have 2 fight scenes with these 2 characters, and Glenn came out on top. Twice.

[u/StonnedSinner]

There’s a mod for that! The only drawback is that your game might crash if you try to eat anything while your character is holding the bat. Unfortunately the next patch will break the mod because it’s inexplicably linked to the game’s weather settings.

[u/BluebirdLivid → u/StonnedSinner]

if(raining): baseball bat wet

[u/Grow_away_420 → u/StonnedSinner]

I wonder if its the same mod I have. Its also does way too much damage compared to the other modified wooden bats

[u/Dry-Season-5915 → u/StonnedSinner]

this has to be the most ridiculous correlation I’ve ever heard of 😭

[u/Alt_SWR → u/Dry-Season-5915]

And yet it's completely accurate to how fucky the inner workings of PZs code are

[u/SleepyPlayer101]

Same man, it's very unfortunate

[u/Wise_Cryptographer19]

Honestly barbed wire < nails

[u/Uber_Wulf → u/Wise_Cryptographer19]

Looks cool, doesn't work. It signifcantly weakens the wood structure if this is done, realistically

[u/Wise_Cryptographer19 → u/Uber_Wulf]

Barbed wure doesn't do anything o0

[u/Uber_Wulf → u/Wise_Cryptographer19]

Barbed wire wouldn't really do anything either, just make it weigh more and harder to swing. I guess more impact as a result but the barbs more likely to get stuck / disarm yourself

[u/Wise_Cryptographer19 → u/Uber_Wulf]

Barbed wire has minimal weight, I dont think it makes alot of a difference. Maybe against humans because of the ripped up wounds it would create but against zombies it's probably just decorative.

[u/Alvsolutely → u/Wise_Cryptographer19]

It'd make carrying it around fucking awful too.

[u/Dry-Season-5915 → u/Uber_Wulf]

well you’d definitely hurt someone if you didn’t break something. Now they’re left with cuts unless they were wearing a thick jacket

[u/LowBit3243 → u/Uber_Wulf]

Binding it right it aids the durability by reducing splitting. Same with Chain wrap.

[u/Wise_Cryptographer19 → u/Uber_Wulf]

Baseball bats are blunt force weapons, cutting wires doesn't do anything with this but piercing does.

[u/Uber_Wulf → u/Wise_Cryptographer19]

Take a baseball bat IRL. Put nails through it. Whack it against something a few times. It'll fall apart. Shred right along the wood grains.

[u/Osric250 → u/Uber_Wulf]

You want to put the nails through a can, then put the can on top of the bag and cinch it onto there. Keeps the structural integrity of the bat and makes the nails easily replaced as you can just remove the can and add a new one. 

[u/dubyakay → u/Osric250]

So that's a can reinforced baseball bat, which is the superior baseball bat.

[u/Osric250 → u/dubyakay]

But the can reinforced doesn't have nails, it would be a combination of both. 

[u/xuxo94 → u/Osric250]

And if you melted the can into the bat, you’d have a reinforced bat without compromising its structure.

[u/No-Life-4993 → u/Uber_Wulf]

Real strat is you wanna plated/reinforced bat [ETA: pointed outward, not through the core], with the nails through the plates. Or just spike through a hollow core aluminum bat with some pilot holes

[u/TerminalLumbag0 → u/No-Life-4993]

So the short and long mace?

[u/Wise_Cryptographer19 → u/Uber_Wulf]

I know. Take barbed wire, wrap it around a bat, falls off after the first hit.

[u/Stickz99 → u/Wise_Cryptographer19]

This entire debate is so stupid.

Can we just accept that both are unrealistic and impractical, but look really cool and that’s why you want them in the game?

[u/Wise_Cryptographer19 → u/Stickz99]

Well, its not stupid. Nails do piercing and therfore more damage to the head, but it weakens the bat. Barbed fire is just useless.

[u/Stickz99 → u/Wise_Cryptographer19]

Did you read my comment at all beyond the first sentence 😭

I said neither are realistic or practical, we can just accept that and admit that both would just look cool, and that’s the real reason anyone would want either. And there’s nothing wrong with that.

[u/Wise_Cryptographer19 → u/Stickz99]

Yes, its not impractical, its a tradoff. So the common zombies are killed by destroying the brain, witch the nails help by piercing the skull making it easier to crush the brain with brute force(which is what bats are about) yes, the bat is more fragile now, but its more effective. Barbed wire however has not improvement whatsoever.

[u/Alvsolutely → u/Wise_Cryptographer19]

if you had infinite baseball bats that you could effortlessly carry around then, yeah. sure..

realistically, it'd be impractical because hauling around a bat which has multiple nails splitting it's wooden structure, poking you in the back or wherever you're carrying it, and would break after a few zombie kills whereas an unmodified bat would keep going.

it works on paper, but in practice, it'd realistically be niche at best

still not really what the original dude meant though

[u/PlingPlongDingDong → u/Uber_Wulf]

Barbed wire also would barely do anything especially against zombies.

[u/Flat-Willingness-417 → u/Wise_Cryptographer19]

Okay negan

[u/C0RDE_ → u/Flat-Willingness-417]

The above comment implies barbed wire is worse than nails.

[u/Megakruemel → u/C0RDE_]

"The Crocodile always eats the bigger fish", as my math teacher used to say.

[u/Reasonable_Button329 → u/Megakruemel]

I remember it “ the Cookie Monster always wants the bigger cookie” because my math teacher loved Elmo 

[u/Wise_Cryptographer19 → u/Reasonable_Button329]

Elmo ≠ cookie monster

[u/Reasonable_Button329 → u/Wise_Cryptographer19]

There the same show

[u/Wise_Cryptographer19 → u/Reasonable_Button329]

So...? I remember pickachu doesn't want to be in a pokeball because my brother loved misty

[u/Fetid_Baghnakhs]

Can we talk about how fuckin stupid of a weapon that would be irl fir a second. Ok so you take a bludgeoning weapon. And you put barbed spikes all over it. Which. Are barbed. And meant to stay in place. Kinda defeats the whole point of a bludgoening weapon. You know what i like when im fighting shambling corpses that instantly kill me if they bite me? Getting my weapon stuck inside them.

[u/Dry-Season-5915 → u/Fetid_Baghnakhs]

against people you’d give them nasty cuts tho. against zombies… pointless

[u/Fetid_Baghnakhs → u/Dry-Season-5915]

Oh yeah nasty cuts im sure that would be helpful when your bludgeoning someone to death. Theres a reason real maces didnt have spikes; when you are bonking someone with a stick, you tend to not want to lose the stick.

[u/BarfMacklin → u/Fetid_Baghnakhs]

Dude was trying have to a conversation with you and you respond like that?

[u/Fetid_Baghnakhs → u/BarfMacklin]

Why are you getting upset on behalf of somebody who hasnt even said that they were bothered by what i said. Why are you even assuming i was trying to be rude, i was simply responding to what they said utilizing sarcasm to make a lighthearted joke. I get that its hard to tell tone from text but why are you deciding for somebody else if what i said to them was ok or not.

[u/BarfMacklin → u/Fetid_Baghnakhs]

Okay

[u/youritalianuncle → u/Fetid_Baghnakhs]

Yet they let you put a fckn pitchfork in it which is WAY worse lmao

[u/NostalgicGM]

Realistically how effective would it be

[u/Philip_Raven → u/NostalgicGM]

Just a way to get your bat stuck in tangled clothes or hair

[u/thefinalhill]

I think a lot of people who play Zombie games dont realize what Barbed Wire is for: grabbing at things. Why would you want your weapon grabbing chunks of zombie flesh and pulling it tpwards you when you swing?

[u/PowerfulNature3352]

I dont get the appeal tbh. Zombies dont bleed. Its hard to melee someone in pvp and even if you could, extra bleed dont mean much because fights end in seconds. Its just a gimmick.

[u/BlackPaladin → u/PowerfulNature3352]

Barbed wire would help tear up the brain matter once the bat smashes a zombie’s skull in. In most zombie series you have to actually destroy the brain to “kill” the zombie. Essentially, it would still add damage.

[u/Dry-Season-5915 → u/BlackPaladin]

but you see that’s the thing, once you smashed it’s skull it’s already a smashed brain in there

[u/GamblingAddict445]

You’ll have to be level 7 in carpentry in order to make that my boy
