Why are they wasting so many bullets?

If you've ever seen the TV show, Rick&Co take down entire crowds of walkers only using melee weapons, and their point in the timeline is even earlier than the game - 2, 3 years in.

JCrew are like 4 years into the apocalypse, and they're still wasting bullets to kill lone, or crippled walkers. After the Junkyard shootout, I tried waiting out the shoot prompt of the paralysed NF walker, but nah, Clem ends up shooting it anyway. Not to mention how loud guns are - I'm sure a huge chunk of the New Frontier/Junkyard clusterfuck happened because their gunshots gave away their location.

  • More animation needed if they get up and personal.

  • A lot of the situations they're in, they are constantly surrounded by walkers. The only way to deal with them really is through shooting and to be fair I'v seen a fair bit of melee kills without the heavy use of ammo.

  • In the comics, Ricks community found a way to make new bullets. I am guessing other communities can as well, so bullets are not as scarce.

  • Plot armor, infinite ammo.

    My face when we had that QTE in S3E2 where you have to press E 8 times to shoot 4 walkers.

    God that was infuriating.

  • I'm guessing chopping a walker's head off or stabbing a screwdriver into the skull is not as easy as it looks to us...

    Especially after the shoot out with the NF...they are exhausted
