Can we have secondary attack for the shovel so we could hit something with it?
Maybe not as deadly as a knife, but would be cool to hit someone with a shovel. I'w heard it's even tought in some armys to do so as last resort

not possible to give something the repair ability a attack function as well, unless we use up anouther weapon slot, IE slot 2 is for the shovel you "build" with and slot 1 is the shovel you attack with which we think is not worth it since it would only be a little joke and not worth replacing something like the knife for.

replace the knife with shovels

lol i loved cracking people over the head with a shovel in DoD and FH1942

There has been alot of incidents where I sneak up on a dude and just want to smack his head with the shovel.

oh ye, guess your right, i mean, using a shovel is far more realistic than knife, i mean you always see on the news that "US Army solider beat insurgent to death with shovel"

How about tactical tomahawks? Thats much more realistic than shovels. Not to mention much more bad@ss.

You can people kill with a shovel in opk.
But when you replace the knife with shovels in PR. I will promise you we will have hundreds of threads like this "Why i cant build a bunker with this shoverl" or "why i cant kill people with this shovel" So let the shovel be shovel an knife be knife.

I'm pretty sure it's almost a hallmark of German mods to have killer shovels (OPK, German Front Mod, etc.)
Tomahawks are actually used by Rangers, but the US Army in PR is probably supposed to represent regular soldiers, not Rangers. Also, knives are just more common.

yeah, but we ( in the Bundeswehr ) learned, that a shovel is a very good weapon .. i mean you can even cut down a tree with the shovels the bundeswehr has. In addition it has more reach than a knife. And I think shovels are very common in an army.

Using the e-tool as a weapon has been suggested before. Please use search.

The e-tool is taught as an improvised weapon in many military close-combat systems, including US Army Combatives.

Tomahawks may have been used by Rogers' Rangers, but are not used by the 75th Ranger Regiment. They have been given out to competitors in the Best Ranger Competition where tomahawk throwing has been an event, but otherwise, they are a novelty item.

knife is good as it is, and you can even slice bread and cheese with it and have a tea party

not poss mate, would have to be another "weapon" + not worth the energy to code/animate imo.

OPK has the animation and coding anything other than python is easy,just copy the opk weapon,run a search and replace over it to change the name of it to something else,and make sure it calls for the old geometry,animations,selection icons, collision mesh and AI and done

Having two shovels, one for building and one for hitting, is not wanted.
