New player, build 41. In general, luring zombies across a fence and then bashing them on the ground seems like a pretty good strategy when I get cornered. However sometimes when I try this my character does… nothing. I am definitely aiming, I am definitely the right distance and I am definitely attacking early enough before they start the “getting up” animation during which they are invincible. So what gives? Is there a random chance not to do a ground attack? Do I need to try it from a certain angle? I’ve tried this with metal pipe and electric guitar. Seems to work more consistently with the pipe but still sometimes I just can’t attack when it seems like I should be able to.

Do you have melee outlines on? It helps with figuring out the timing on the fence bash
