Bug Fixes
MELEE
• Melee attacks against prone and sitting zombies while wielding light melee weapons now deals the same damage as medium weapons
VANGUARD
• Reworked block mechanic:
– Block stamina (progress bar over the crosshair) is spent gradually
each second you block. Full block stamina allows you to take any
amount of hits for 5 seconds, no matter how many zombies attack
you and how many are killed as a result.
. Each time you spend block stamina, a small portion of equipment
charge (progress bar over the equipment icon on the HUD) is also
spent. Full block spends half of the charge. If you haven’t blocked
incoming damage – you won’t spend any equipment charge.
. You can activate the block even if you’re low on equipment charge,
but you’ll also have less block stamina. If you don’t have any
equipment charge left, you’ll only have stamina to block a single
attack and won’t be able to use block for the next 5 seconds.
• Passive Aggression perk changed from:
*Players can kill 40% more zombies with a Shield Block” to:”Shield Block can withstand incoming hits for 3 more seconds (base: 5 seconds)”
• Study perk changed from:

gain a temporary health boost” to: “When your Shield Block is completely expended, you gain a temporary health boost”

Shield” to: “Blocking a zombie hit or performing Shield Charge reloads your primary and secondary weapons”
Adrenaline Rush perk changed from: “Using a Shield fully restores melee stamina” to: “Blocking a zombie hit or performing Shield Charge fully restores melee stamina”
