Level 41-43: Telling Blows

Level 41-43: Telling Blows
This applies to all blunt weapons, so even though it's a lower bonus, than what you've been used to for the first 40 levels, it's still just as reliable.

Level 20-22: Critical Impact

Level 20-22: Critical Impact
9% is better than 3%. Please don't complain that you have no modified blunt weapons. You have enough low-tier mods to cover your modding needs. By the time you're in the city, crits will be lifesavers. Also, crits are the only way to proc your mods.This, this, this.

Level 10-12: Motivation

Level 10-12: Motivation
This talent is superb when it comes to melee combat. If you find yourself running out of stamina, kick/switch to fists. This will most definitely give you that extra stamina you need to survive a wave of zeds.

Level 6-8: Tackle

Level 6-8: Tackle
Oh. The jackpot? Here it is. This singlehandedly makes Sam B the best melee player in the game. Tackle knocks down all enemies on a sprint. "Oh cool," you might say.No. What you should be saying is, "HOLY FUCK I'M A REALLY FAST STEAMROLLING TRUCK WITH PROJECTILE FISTS FOR HANDS." This talent is that good.

Level 3-5: Devastation

Level 3-5: Devastation
This skill is less about the damage and more about the force. Remember, your weapons are blunt. They'll also receive a bonus as you level up (I guess your character does weights when you get lunch or something). Essentially, the 9% damage boost is good, but the ability to knock those fucking thugs down- way better.

I had something similar happen in the city when my radar told me to go through an area that was too small for the truck

After 10 minutes of trying to get it unstuck, the truck started frantically bouncing up and down while slowly ascending a nearby street light.It was hilarious and frustrating, all at once.

This is my second play through and my character is a LVL 40 Logan
I primarily focus on throwing (30% extra damage, 30% crit chance and no durability loss? fuck yeah!). So anyway I randomly join a nearby group just for shits and giggles. The three fellows I join happen to all have mics and are keeping up a steady conversation - in Spanish, of which I do not speak a word. So I leave my mic off and just follow around killing zombies at will.

PROTIP: You can scale most rock formations easily by having your back to them and jumping backwards

Also, with a shotgun I tend to aim for a leg or knee of a zombie.For some reason it counts as an instant kill about 95% of the time (and it's just fun to watch them do a frontflip)

What's the best way to take down Thug's?

What's the best way to take down Thug's?
I should probably have clarified that I have taken down several thugs by both dodging attacks and jumping them and blowing up propane tanks in their face.I just wanted to know if their was an easier way, like smashing their legs or something to incapate them. I dunno, love all the advices though, much love!
