An awful lot of coding for a totally lolwut feature

Sure, we could let the axes have an on_hit trigger that checks on a ground hit if agents are nearby(>2m) and then by a random chance (to simulate the unpredictable bounce direction) makes a damage roll against their leg armor. Just because everyone loves randomness in cRPG.

NOT

Just to make things clear, that was a troll

Btw, that way to do it looks a bit simplistic. You could simulate a new "throw" by (adding a chance of) creating a transient npc where the axe fell and make that guy throw the axe in a more or less random direction, no ?

Definetly needs to be added

Seriously!

With WSE a new projectile with a partly random velocity vector(with lowered magnitude) could be spawned I think.

no point in doing it really.  Franciscas were often bounced under shields.  shields in this game pretty much block ALL attacks from a wide arc.

Man I totally want a game with hyper realistic throwing weapons now.

Of course this will never be that game.

Im sorry this concept is too off the wall for me and im getting the image of people bouncing throwing axes around corners to clear rooms of hostiles

Haha, that just made me think about razor launchers in Unreal 

Btw, throwing axes should only bounce on grass/dirt, when it is not raining. Just try to throw a table tennis racket like a throwing axe on grass then on a solid surface. It works way better on grass (yeah I tried that when I was 9, the racket wasn't so severly damaged as you could think  ).

Bro, there was a new patch in january where they nerfed the batshit out of grass.

Pfft coming here and posting half-a-year-old tests, you gotta be fucking kidding me...

Before bouncing axes, we need chamber-able arrows.
