the promise of "realism" is code for "i need to come up with a shit excuse as to why things are behaving like this, and ignore that i'm trying to make a video game"

only a swede would go "lets make a horde coop PvE shooter and also add realism to it because...well, we used to clean toilets back in the army, so we have military experience!"

>Scythe
Niche weapon that falls apart quickly the moment you have to fight 3 zerkers at dicksucking range. If you can aim at heads with the Scythe, you can aim at heads with every other weapons.
>Dagger
Ok sidearm, but everything else kills better. Scythe but pocket-sized.
>Sickles
Normal sickle is fine for close engagements, accuracy takes a nosedive after a bit. Requires the user to forsake the mentality of "I must NEVER overheat the sickle" and actually do it, because overheating into reloading is faster than letting it cool down completely or a manual reload. But if that's the case, why not use a ballistic weapon?
>DE Sickle
I dont like it, some anons swear by it, I dont.

All opinions stated are for bots only. Sickle works on squids for blasting voteless swarms and some, but scythe or dagger are very bad options there.
