I think we should reintroduce throwing knives

(watsyurdeal) #1

Why? As a means to counter Sparks, and Medics in general really.

The real question is though is if it should replace melee, or be a secondary.

It could potentially be a skill a new merc has (or given to a merc already in game).

Like Phantom.

Cause throwing knives is stealth.
Phantom loves stealth.

Now we got phantom’s needed second skill. :smiley:

Reintroducing throwing knifes ? Simple task if you want my opinion.

  • Replace melee.
  • Left click makes a normal swipe.
  • Right click throws the knife instead of performing a stab attack.
    -> Right click can score headshots.
    -> You’ll be left harmless for X seconds, just the time needed to pull out another knife.
    -> Maybe limit the number of successive throws, but I doubt it’s really needed.

How about turning some of the non katana loadouts into throwing knife loadouts?

I thought it would be more for gibbing, I wouldn’t expect the damage to be too high, or if it was high, then you would need to compound it with a long draw time, throw time, and cooldown, because it is meant to be a gimmick and not a viable alternative to a primary.

A bit of fun, so have it be a very situational yet fun thing, like a defib kill.

@Haki
Yes bro, that’s good!

It could be another perk like ‘have a knife day’ or ‘knife juggler’ or smth like that. :wink:
But if you do that (replace the melee) there will be an outcry like: "no no, my fav merc needs that too! :rage: "
Maybe another skill is for him is good too, idk…
