As the title says, shovels should get their own equipment slot such as flasks and binocs have. This way we can use either a knife or an axe with a shovel. Let’s be honest knifes and axes are better at melee.
Also I just want to use an axe AND shovel with my engineers.
That’s the tradeoff, you either get a shovel and trade off melee efficiency, or you can use an axe or sword for better melee

Better make special equipment slot?
And add there binocles, shovel.
Also I think we can add wire cutters.
This item should allows destroy barbed wire faster.
I think we already have model of this item…
In random soldier equipment.

Axe - yes, better.
Knife…faster, but much weaker.
Idk. For me shovel better then knife as melee.
The problem with shovel is it’s easy to miss with, does not strong damage
Or make showel do the same damage of a knife, even because a showel in the head is not less lethal than a knife in the chest

Ye, you are right. I did some tests in editor.
Shovel do less damage, but… difference is only 0.01 dmg heh
Both weapons have almost 9.95 dmg. Soldiers have 10 hp.
The problem with the shovel is that, when you try to kill, you make a beautifull ditch instead.
