PC Every now and then I'll knock a z back 10 ft with my club. What's going on?

[ElCabong]

Game difficulty is default. Latest experimental build.

I use the wooden club made at the beginning of the game. This is at level 3.

I  put one skill point in clubs inside the strength tree.

I am content to just knock them down but if I can pitch them back 10 ft that's cool and I'm always surprised when I do it. Anything I can do to make that happen more often?

That's weird. Any mods on the club? That's my go to starter weapon, and I usually just knock them down, but never launch them back.

check the books you have read.  Batter up has a knock back book that activates randomly

If you're using any zombies mods, some are prone to doing that because of their /coding

I'll check the batter up books I've read. I have read quite a few of this go around.

No zombie mods.

Don't know if there is a way to manipulate it into happening more often outside of maybe the chain MOD but it happens quite a bit.  I have knocked quite a few coyotes so far away that I cant recover the body XD

I don't like the effect tbh as it is jarring in how unmatched it is with all the other physics in the game but that is very minor.

I have always assumed the described knock back effect was part of the "knock down" mechanic gained through the Strength Attribute and the matching Batter Up book.  It could also be related to the Batter Up book relating to the Rag-doll effect, on its own or in combination with the aforementioned.

I have read that book and that's what I think it is too.

It's fun combining that book, with a weighted head mod and the chaon mod.  The zombies don't know what hit the..
