Hola, it’s me Lumpy, or False, or False Prophet… or whatever the hell you pub people call me. Throwing knives were a weapon that were in the game for a short amount of time before being removed. They are still in the game as you can spawn them in offline mode. They were small projectiles that dealt quite a bit of damage. They were taken out for being spammed to hell and being useless objective wise.
Though perhaps throwing knives could be a viable unique weapon in the game by having their purpose tweaked. Throwing Knives could be used in a similar fashion to all the Recon mercenaries’ spotting ability, with the exception of poor sad little Phantom.
Throwing Knives when thrown could have an arc like Vasilli’s Heartbeat Sensor but stick to walls like Aimee’s SNITCH Device. However the knives do not have to stick to just walls, the knives can be thrown into an enemy from a distance and detect the host and vacant enemies. The knives can also do some damage on impact or drain hp or whatever to make them a little more unique. A maximum of two knives can be dispensed at one time, if a third is introduced the oldest one is destroyed.
Though the problem with these is that they are a little gimmicky and we already have a sh!t ton of other spotting abilities, though the fact that it has the opportunity to be a mobile tracking device makes it all the more dynamic and other… big words… that I can’t string together right now.
Also please feel free to tell me how retarded my idea is, I do love being pummeled by DB Veterans.
