Cestus

==Summary==
More of an add-on then a weapon, the Cestus takes up no inventory space but provides a great advantage when fighting against zombies. Instead of having its own unique attack, the Cestus improves a player's punch attack. Boosting the damage and causing it to trip zombies like the kick does. Alongside this the wearer gains access to the Block ability. Triggered when the "R" Key is held. While blocking, any damage you would've otherwise taken is instead converted to Stamina Drain. As long as you have Stamina you are invulnerable while blocking. But if you run out of stamina while blocking, the Damage that caused your block to break is still taken and is doubled! 
Most notably, this melee buffs the amount of damage you deal when breaking free from Smoker Grabs, Hunters, and Stalkers. Not by a lot but by enough. 
==Tips==
*Wearing the Cestus makes your punches trip zombies. If you don't have your gun out, it is effectively a stronger shove.
**The amount of stamina required to punch is also not changed when wearing the Cestus, so go at it! You are strong now.
*The Cestus pairs well with the Officer Vest , because of it's buff to overall damage including when grabbed by any pinning zombie. This allows you to break out of a zombie's grasp in a single Stamina bar which is otherwise not possible with the Officer Vest alone.
==Trivia==

*A "Cestus" is actually an ancient form of Boxing Glove made of metal. Dated back to Ancient Rome, they were used for ceremonial gladiator fights. The more you know!
