Similar to how edged weapons remove limbs, perhaps make it so blunt weapons/kicks can break arms, legs, spines or necks.
Have broken limbs hang limp, or have zombies be forced to crawl by just their arms if legs/spine damage.

Yeah, that’d be a fantastic way to give blunt weapons more identity and impact. If slicing can take limbs off, then smashing should have its own brutal flavor, crippling a zombie’s arm so it can’t grab you, or shattering its legs so it drags itself at you all desperate-like. It’d not only be satisfying visually, but it’d give players a real tactical reason to use blunt over edged weapons depending on the situation. Definitely adds to the immersion and depth of combat.

I agree. It would also make blunt more entertaining to use quite honestly

Blunt weapon should sound and feel heavier over bladed weapons. Blunt weapons should also stun more than blades because zombies are still affected by concussions i believe. Not to mention the satisfaction of popping a zombies head like a watermelon with a baseball bat.
