A Shovel can always be found at the starting point of " The Junkyard" in "The Last Stand", standing upright beside a makeshift grave to the Survivors' right.This is reinforced by the observation of the Shovel's first-person viewmodel being a near-identical mirroring of its Postal 2 equivalent, as well as its size being similar to that of its Postal 4 counterpart.
LEFT 4 DEAD 2 SCRIPTS UPDATE
One of the community developers who were involved in The Last Stand Community Update confirmed in a Reddit post that the inclusion of the Shovel in Left 4 Dead 2 is a homage to the Postal video game series, in which the protagonist can wield a shovel as a melee weapon.The Shovel has a unique attribute that allows it to hit around ragdolls with greater force than other melee weapons.Similar to the Frying Pan and the Nightstick, any Infected (except the Tank) can be sent flying a short distance when killed with the Shovel.Like the Pitchfork, the Shovel has unique swing sounds and hitsounds.Kill 20 Jockeys with the shovel or pitchfork. Killing the Boomers will cover the attacker and nearby Survivors with bile.Ĭonnected achievements Main article: Achievements.Cannot be used to cut a Smoker's tongue.It is one of the most common melee weapons.Stumbles crowds of Infected relatively easily.Has a wide attack range, allowing multiple kills with one swing.It spews blood on the screen, but never dismantles or mutilates the Infected. The Shovel is classified as a bludgeoning weapon. With the correct timing it is possible to kill a Charger with one hit while it is charging, allowing a Survivor to "level" a charge without first dealing damage to the Charger and to gain the achievement " Level a Charge". The melee weapons appear to do more damage if an Infected's head or upper body is targeted. Due to their death effects, it is generally advised to melee neither the Boomer (unless there is no choice) nor the Spitter (unless it is possible to move away immediately from the resulting acid splash). All melee weapons, on all difficulties, kill Common Infected and most Special Infected in one hit, aside from the Charger (which takes two-but see point below), the Witch (which takes four), and the Tank (which takes twenty, excluding the Chainsaw). Close combat weapons cause minimal friendly fire damage to the Survivors, even on Advanced and Expert difficulty levels (the Chainsaw is an exception). They have two main drawbacks: a limited reach and (with a few exceptions) relatively long cooldown periods. Unlike Pistols, close combat weapons never need to be reloaded and cannot run out of ammo (excluding the Chainsaw). Melee weapons replace Pistols in the secondary weapon slot.
