Lets not forget that players will be able to melee through holes in doors....Will leave that thought with you guys to theorycraft.  😎
I was wondering how this works.  How is it that you determine if you are attacking through a door versus attacking the door?  Just if there is a zombie behind it?  Or do only tools break down doors now?  Curious to how it will work.

 
I ported the penetration code from ranged to melee, so in certain cases the spear can...
Stab through walls without immediately destroying the block? Not to mention stab through multiple grouped up zombies.

Iirc they were planning on having the door's "hitbox" adjust and try to match the door's altered shape.

 
Newer doors are using mesh colliders, so colliders do not cover the holes in the door. Meaning you can shoot or hit through.
Can zombie  hit players through hole or not? Because if you have almost destored doors and if zombie coudn't hit you you could spam "stunned"attack (  like sledgehammer power attack) and be able to clean room pretty save

 
Some good guesses and one very very very good solution by Uncle AI. My clue does reference a character in the Hunger Games and in particular something he did "in" the 75th Hunger Games and it does signify changes to a weapon we use in our game that he used in that game-- which Uncle AI pretty much hit squarely on the head. Needless to say, if you ever thought the spear was lackluster and wished it did a bit more damage plus a power thrust rather than a throwing attack you will be happy. 

If you only played the game because throwing the spear was one of the core elements of the game for you....I guess let's get #speargate started....
Finally! A way to defeat my old nemesis.... The Ninja Rabbit. I can hear their little cries of "skweeeee" as I stab them with the spear. Stab....skweeee....stab....skweee..... yeah baby!!

Awesome! That alone is great but...

Don't tell me that means 'The Penetrator' perk will also function when using a spear?

That would be like, I don't know, synergy in the Perception tree or something.
