SUMMARY

To many survivors, killing zombies over and over again for days with no end in sight is pretty stressful. Sometimes, you just need to kick back and raid a local cellar to find the good stuff and party the night (and your troubles) away. Much to your demise, the stash of valuables has long since been raided. Some still remain, but those that do are busted to pieces.

However, all is not lost. The bottles, though long since derived of their original purpose, now serve a new purpose as a makeshift melee weapon in the apocalypse.

 BACKGROUND

Bottles can be found pretty much everywhere, scattered on the streets and in abandoned buildings. The drinks long gone, no longer serve any purpose in life, but even in the apocalypse people still manage to find a way to make slap a price tag on them. L-Brain Sidework took this in hand and made a profit off of old bottles by falsely advertising them as "Energy Drinks". Needless to say, the marketing trick worked as angry people who opened their shipments of busted bottles put them to good use against hordes of the undead.

However, there came a price for such a cheap makeshift weapon: The bottles were significantly fragile. If used right, the busted bottle could last forever. If used wrong, the whole thing fell apart and left you melee-less.

 SURVIVOR TIPS

- Don't be fooled by its relatively cheap price and good stats, if used wrong the item will completely fall apart on you and leave you with only your primary weapons and fists.

- The high swing rate and high damage output makes this bottle significantly deadly.

- After a period of 6 to 8 consecutive hits, the bottle completely breaks. Be smart on when to use it and when not to use it.

- That being said, if you periodically wait a few seconds after using it, the bottle stays intact and can be used forever. - The bottle can trip AND headshot zombies, use this to your advantage in a 1-on-1 situation.

 ZOMBIE TIPS 

- This weapon is far deadlier than you think it is, be weary on rushing a survivor with it.

- If you attack a survivor as a group, you could cause real damage by either forcing the survivor to run or possibly break the survivor's bottle.

- Brutes can NOT break bottles with the club smash. They can only break if the survivor uses it too much on a mob.

NOTES FROM THE EDITOR

- I got this idea from unlocking the hidden "Broken Bottle" melee weapon in Battlefield 1, one of the more challenging weapon unlocks in the game.

- Roblox is supposed to be child-friendly, therefore it could be possible to make this bottle look more like a soda bottle rather than a wine bottle, like in the reference picture above.

- The screen pic is of the Demoman's Wine Bottle from Team Fortress 2.

- The idea for this suggestion is to provide a rather inexpensive weapon that can cause high damage at the cost of possibly being lost because of over-useage. Be smart on when to use the bottle, because it could backfire on you.
