Katana/knives are op?

[HPedroso]

hey, its just me or this build is kinda broken? because i'm using sandevistan that replenish when u kill, not to mention the crit damage for headshot with knives is crazy, i can clear camps withou losing sandevistan pretty much just with headshots or slashing everyone hahaha

on very hard, i think only maxtac can kill me i guess.

i'm thinking about changing to something else haha

It's always been this way. They're OP for one reason or another depending on the version of the game you're playing.

i played on release and it was strong but not like this, not even close i think, dont get me wrong, it's cool as ♥♥♥♥, but damn the game becomes a lot easier xd

SHHHH. Stop trying to make my enemies bullet sponges by ruining my knife builds. Making enemies take 100 hits does not increase difficulty it just makes fights tedious.

It's true for sure. I tend to just use it as a "play stealth until i inevitably get caught, then throw knives at dudes faces".

I mean, I've found this is pretty much the case with any build you invest heavily in. I've accidentally wiped entire groups of enemies by spamming monowire with a Reboot Optics quickhack and Kerenzikov.

Katana always been extremely overpowered, and extremely fun to play.

Kind of this as well.

If you invest in the right perks and learn to play that playstyle correctly, you'll become OP essentially regardless.

My Netrunning Stealth Knife Assassin is a powerhouse at this point that can clear a camp with like 2 quickhacks and a few headshots with a knife throw.

Anything with a sandevistan is OP. With Nerves of Tungsten Steel with a revolver or sniper (especially Overwatch with Killer Intinct) everything is a one shot kill and they dont even know youre there.

And Im pretty sure Apogee is bugged....you can pretty much stay in 85% slowmo permanently.

Could be. I'm using the falcon onez if I kill with swords but don't use a finisher I pretty much kill everyone before the slowmo ends

Apogee is better. You can completely bypass its cooldown and activate it whenever you want even if its in a cooldown.

yeah but u can do this with falcon too but i guess it has some "mini cooldown" if u dont use all of it, but when i get to level 40 or something i'm gonna grab this one

rip 500% crit dmg sword?

Katanas were always strong.

(cue the copypasta[knowyourmeme.com]...).

Thrown knives, IIRC there was a time when you basically permanently lost them when throwing them (no recharge, not dropped) and thus it was not viable as a main playing style unless you were able to craft an endless supply. I think that might have been changed even before 2.0, though.

2.0 gives throwing knives a boost effectively by removing one of the obvious alternatives, namely suppressed Overtures.

Literally everything is OP once you hit a certain level, and no it doesn't matter what difficulty you crank it up to.

The game is just really easy once you've got some decent equipment and some perks.
