Wouldn't this make the ice club useless then? Although I don't even have an ice club.

I guess it could be a chance for people who didn’t get ice staff or don’t even have a freezing weapon

I have the frost knuckles already so this weapon is just like a limited item to me

Frost knuckles already made ice staff redundant, why do we need another, unless it just has really high stamina but then it's pointless. Instead maybe make it only take 5 stamina but slows zombies down each hit, but every 3-4 hits freezes.

What about people that don’t have any freezing weapons?

They get nae nae'd

Nu

It would freeze every few hits and would also act as a low stamina weapon to get away, therefore boasting slightly more utility whilst having a slightly nerfed freeze. Freezing weapons aren't that useful unless you're playing rapid infection anyway and it would add a new dimension to the arsenal of melees by having one which also slows zombies down.

Good idea something like torch. 50% chance to freeze

Instead of zombies/enemy players getting instantly frozen by just a stab, the weapon could just trip and slow down the zombie's walkspeed. However, it could do a unique move (similar to toy hammer's super smash) that could instantly freeze enemies around the player but at the cost of both stamina and walkspeed.
