Knife?

[LeadedHydra78]

Am i able to get a knife in this game i feel like i have yet to find one

Knives were in the first game, but mostly to eat food and deal with some early game melee units. With the absence of food and melee units (aside from the spider ones, which lets be honest, aren't really going to be knifeable lol) in the current version, I don't see what knives would even allow one to do...

Only reason I could see them being useful is for those pickle jars so you dont have to use ammo/alert mimics

True, I wish we could butt stock them! Maybe when durability is implemented, we can butt stock melee for a bit of durability? Quick pistol whips should open em haha

just because you didnt use knives didnt mean others didnt. Great at killing spawns, finishing off fragments, and ive killed a decent amount of seekers and sliders with them as well. Knives are sorely missing from this game.

I agree they are decently useful in the first game, and I probably underused them. But in this game? There's only gun enemies right now, I really don't see how they could be useful without making you take tons of damage.

They should definitely add them back at some point just for the fun of it. Yeah they might not be practical with the way enemies act now. But I would like to have a cool looking knife on of my arms or chest rig.

also how would one do a knives only playhrough without a knife?

I slept on the knives for so long. They are great against armored dudes, they usually die from one or two stabs to the head, saves you on ammo if you don't have AP. Also good against shotgun mimics, they fire they two shots then have to reload so if you are close enough you can charge them after their second shot and stab stab stab, which would work in this game too. Same for spawns, in the first game you could stab them when they were immobilized after their attack, same could be done in the second, although you usually want to kill them before they even jump in the second because of how hard they are to dodge.

I think they will make a return, might have forgot them at the time, but if we bring it up enough he might just add it.

Couldn't put it better myself. They're like a trusty little last resort.

I liked the knife and I agree, couldn't put better either.

Knives are already in the game I think, but they're unobtainable for now because there was some kind of problem with them that needs fixing.

I miss knifes for the simple fact you could load a back pack full and start throwing them at everything for giggles

Silly quick question, I bought a few tin cans of sprats from the store, I can open them, but don't know how to eat them. In the first game we had to use a knife, is that the same here but the knife isn't yet implemented into the game?
