Are throwing knives/weapons viable till late game on hard or very hard?

[A]

How many knives do you carry with you? I was wondering if 1 is enough provided you invest in the right perks. Not accounting not being a really accurate thrower.

They're pretty strong the entire game yeah.

Though you can refund perks now so there's no harm experimenting since you can just remove all those perks and put them somewhere else instead.

I suggest you fully commit on a 3-Knife loadout. Headhunter and 2 Punknives then go to town

Or 2 knives and one favorite gun you want. You most likely one-shot grunts.

I would say yes, at least for hard difficulty. I did that. You can certainly do enough damage. The only thing for me was that I needed a back up weapon just in case I missed a key throw and a fight went awry. So yes, have a backup knife, but I liked a good silenced pistol as well.

I've been wanting to do a throwing knife and Katana build on Very Hard 2.0 ; nice to hear it's still viable

totally, you just need few iconic ones and right build

Just don't use Black Mamba on this build. Ruins the high Poison DMG the Knife tree has.

Honestly Throwing Knife tree is cracked-- overtuned honestly.
