I like the idea of punching zombies in the face! (and the fact that it uses fitness and strength)
And the dual hand can be helpful in the early game when you only have sticks and stuff as weapons while having the "all thumbs" negative trait.

There is a bug tho! Off hand weapons don't get unequipped when they run of durability... leading to an unbreakable weapon (if not unequipped manually)

Still... this is an amazing mod and I really hope to see your work prosper!
Have a good day! :)

can't wait for B42 version 🙏 needed mod

no update for b42 as of yet?

as a controller user, thank you for controller compatibility

Punching is way to strong, if you kite properly you could just play through the game without even using weapons lol.

For some reason punches one shot zombies, helpppp

Cool and very fun but also very buggy, nearly impossible to hit that sweet spot to actually make contact and punch them, in essence its like getting a vending machine to accept a horribly crumpled bill.

here I sit, patiently awaiting for the build 42 version

[ Troubleshoot Report ]

I enjoy your mod, it's one of my primary mods since the beginning.

But, not completely compatible with Arsenal[26] GunFighter Mod. Guns can fire, but when you fire, the other gun on your left hand will automatically be unequipped or return to the holster/inventory. Please, fix this. Thank you.

this mod gave me the force

Would be nice if i could change the fist damage in settings.

Me, refusing to play B42 without this mod and patiently awaiting B42 multiplayer.

THIS, this is how you make great mods! This along with the climb, and jump mod are solid must-haves for my load order. thank you for saving my mod-list! I look forward to future updates. dropping an award and a follow.

add sound effect of punching pls

game not loading

this mod looks great, one request though is maybe an optional feature where punching a zombie has a chance for them to bite or grapple you since your putting their food right into their face

Your mod is amazing. I've been using it for awhile now and really doubt I could play this game without the ability to punch a zombie in the head. I love the feature so much I will put my primary weapon away just to go ham with the fists if there are only a couple zomboids in my way.
Saw in your description you want to enhance the unarmed possibly with gloves and such, I really like the sounds of that idea and hope that it appears in any future updates.

what skill is responsible for that mod?

"Compatible with ALL weapon mods!"

is this compatible with arsenal gunfighter 2.0?

And well and in general there is no animation on the ground impact weapons as in the right hand on ALT, even when there is no 2nd weapon in the right hand
I understand that the developer is waiting for the release of B42 and I wish it and in the development of mods good luck, and hopefully we can come to some solutions to the “problems” that I have described here

I'm not sure if it's a bug, rather not a very remarkable thing, but I saw that through LCTRL when aiming with an additional weapon on the spacebar there is no animation of the thrust as well as the thrust itself just a blow from the left hand, while with the right hand there is a thrust, and this leads to inetesnye mishaps with the setting of alternation of combat then the left, then the right hand, that when you own 2 weapons, then alternate through the spacebar attack left hand, push and such a cycle of attack / push / attack, which is not very convenient, because I wanted to the spacebar was always push to topple zombies.

The User below took the Illiterate Trait

Please update for Build 42!!!!!!!

I think it would make sense for punch damage and effectiveness to scale based on your short blunt skill (alongside strength and fitness). Short blunt already increases the chance of you shoving a zombie off of you when you get grabbed so it would make sense for it to improve punches as well. I assume it would also be easier to implement than an entire new skill.

@Giddish yes it has been for a long time

Is it 2025 yet

does it work in the new build?

o7

когда я махаюсь кулаками то вылетает ошибка с низу и урон по зомби не наносится

No worries. Will happily wait till multiplayer is available for this awesome mod. Thank you

build 42?

Hey man me again I want to report a problem with your mod in both Fancy and Brutal Handwork it appears that the mods have errors but in Brutal I don't know which one would be correct, can you help me?

@Cinna 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗯𝗼𝘆.

Dont leave to get milk

Father we need build 42

Please, Its needed this mod for Build 42

please feed us (update) we're starving..., (take your time to update tho, dont feel pressurixid hghdhfh aaa engrish)

lock in dhert I'm tryna throw hands

Hyped for B42 update and all those things you are planning on look amazing!

i have a problem with this, when i use my fists or a dueled weapon, they dont work at all. i loved fisting zomboids but now cant :<

do fist fighting skill

This wait will last EONS. Just like Build 41, Build 42 multiplayer will take ages to be released.

Is it gonna be in build forty two

Is this compatible with current MP save?

Then, every time such a topic is publicly discussed, the average philosopher on discord pops up, who has never thrown a punch in his life, or is so weak that he can't even unscrew the cap of a bottle of mineral water, and therefore pretends that everyone is as mediocre as he is, and starts with sermons that it is impossible to kill a zombie with his fists and kicks, etc. etc. bla bla... BUT WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT KILLING ZOMBIES WITH FISTS AND KICKS? WHO? At least give us an alternative to that stupid thrusting move that tastes like nothing, and isn't even realistic, because zombies would have every chance to grab you. No one is saying kill a zombie with a punch or a flying kick, but at least throw it to the ground. Forgive me for the outburst, Dhert xD

I honestly don't understand why the staff doesn't decide to implement a decent hand-to-hand combat system. And I'm not talking about ‘KILLING’ zombies with fists and flying kicks, because we all know that wouldn't be possible and believable, but just using them as an alternative to ‘pushing’. At least use these moves to push zombies to the ground, and once on the ground give them the killing blow.

I'll miss being able to fist Zombies. This was a must-have in build 41 for me.

I actually tried to get it to work in B42 but failed.

Thanks for the stupid fun you gave me. Can't wait to see it in Stable42.

i love fisting zombies
