Dead Island - How I fight a Thug Zombie (Without Losing Durability)

So this is how I typically will fight a Thug Zombie if I don't have any explosive canisters nearby or molotovs. I walk away pretty well off. This is the usual way I take them out. Occasionally I'll try the run up, stab the arms, back up quickly. But the Throw, Kick, Retrieve, Back up seems to work best for me.Just don't die. If you die, your knives will dissappear on respawn if they are not in your inventory. However, a key component of this is throwing a weapon does not decay its durability, leaving the potential to save a TON of money.

How to kill a Thug:

1. Shotgun. If not,

2. Rage. If not,

3. Explosive. If not,

4. Long 2H weapon that outranges him. If not,

5. Skip it. There's no point, really.

(This assumes you don't have a colored skull, but those are just designed to be overpowered lol)

@HeyItzMeDawg Psh guns, who needs guns! And rage? Psh why bother! Who needs the extra boost! I am currently playing through as Sam B and my favorite Thug Kill method is

1. Have the 30% chance to knock an enemy down with blunts

2. Begin pummeling the thug, electric weapon mods welcome

3a. When/If the thug falls over, jump on his head. End Story.

3b. When/If he is being shocked, continue to pummel him excessively.

Haha, as Sharp Weapons I now just cut his arms off and poison him then maul him

I don't really find this as a very good method of killing thugs. It may work, but it has a terrible downside. Like you said, if you die while your weapons are still stuck in a thug, then they won't be there when you respawn. And I'm actually in the later part of the game you're referring to. I have several modified weapons that take about 1,000$ or more to repair fully and I repair them all the time and still come away with several thousand left over.

@BlackKanano Yeah, well actually I think now when you die, your weapons will remain there, which is nice. But I since then have become even more efficient at killing thugs on my sharp (Deathstalker mod, attack his arms, when he vomits I just go after the other arm, plus the poison does like 440 dmg), and money isn't a problem either anymore so, this just was more of a fun early game video I suppose haha

The best way to kill a thug is to use left hand of glova to get them on the ground, and then stomp on their head.

[70Gamerz]

Best way to kill a thug is to beat it, and before it hits you run away

[HungryGuyStories]

Please tell me how to throw a knife!

I can't get bast a couple of those thugs in one of the gas stations, and it takes FOREVER to kill them by throwing propane tanks at them.
