I think zombies may not be smart enough to be confused by someone attacking them with some arm they don't even know it could belong to

I would more think Poison since it shimmers into the Whoopi cushion which shimmers into the gas trap, and zombie infection stuff, but yeah confusion probably works better. Honestly, the only change I would make to zombie arms is an increased drop chance from zombies that spawn swinging them.

Why not just let it inflict Confused on any enemy? Zombie Arm isn't exactly a great weapon, and limiting a debuff to a single enemy seems silly.

it was more for comedy but sure that works

and confused isn't exactly a great debuff either, considering 90% of enemies in the game are immune to it anyways

it was less meant to be an actual buff and more an easter egg, since does anyone use the zombie arm?

I will use it if I get it on the first night for a little bit, which has happened a few times. Not a downright terrible weapon.

yeah, exactly the same here, and also agreed, it ain't bad per say but it ain't excellent, it's just there (if you get it very early the extra damage will be handy though)

Kind of a hot take, but swords are a little under appreciated in early game because of their somewhat ok dps and crowd control as well as ease of use (like swords are perfect against pesky bats). BUT they’re still overall weak weapons and usually melee weapons like the spear can outperform it in most scenarios. The zombie arm is a solid sword that can in theory be obtained very, very early.
