Ways to kill wolves!

[EnderDoUrden]

When a wolf startles you and such you should be able to have knife or prybar (if in inventory) to up your attack strength. Less death and quicker fight ending, only if you find those items and they are above a certain condition percentage.

+1.

I think it's weird that you have a hatchet, a prybar and a hunting knife in your inventory but cannot use them to defend yourself.

The knife/hatchet/weapons issue has been responded to repeatedly in numerous -- it's planned for inclusion, but simply not implemented yet.

Snowballs... with rocks in them! You could craft those, right?

[Sioux]

Or tame one with meat and make it your best friend. Then he will fight the other wolfs for you and hunt for deer.

I'm totally on board with this, as long as the item is equipped when the fight starts.

When you're tangling with a wolf, It seems unreasonable that you could go digging in your backpack for it.

I could buy it if you had your knife on your belt. :-)

I like the talk of trapping I've been hearing on other threads, but I wonder if you are going to have to wait just like when you are cooking.

I agree if you can use a weapon to fight back it should be equipped before the fight.
