knife damage worth upgrading?

[Paulie Walnuts]

durability was worth it but i havent touched the damaged am i making a mistake?

If you use it, probably.

I started with damage upgrade on the knife thinking it would be like the original game, turns out I never actually used the knife outside of specific parries and takedown/weakened bosses prompts, or when I get grabbed. So basically just the QTE, never the actual knife as a weapon

See how you play, but as far as I'm concerned it's utterly useless, enemies are too swift for you to do anything with a knife, and crossbow's already there for all your saving ammo needs.

Upgrading durability is king tho

I'm not sure but if you get grabbed and the DMG is lv3 there's a high chance you'll kill a regular grunt when you break off him with the knife

Personally I've used it plenty.

Finishing an enemy using the regular poke uses less durability than the insta-kill takedowns, plus I'm pretty sure the damage takedowns you can do to brutes/chainsaw guys/bosses scales with knife damage.

Depends on how much you use it to kill enemies and how good you are at using it while taking no damge, wouldn't recommend on proffesional tough because of the perfect parry limitation. I personally upgrade the knife damage last as I wanna focus on getting the durability upgrade and other weapon upgrades.

I would upgrade both knives to the max and get the exclusive upgrades for them. With the fighting knife maxed, you don't even need to shoot guns at normal enemies in close range. Both slash and stab work.

I upgraded it once or twice for the melee krauser fight in pro, then sold it and rebought it. Durability is fine, but using it for damage is pretty ass.
