Shortage of Knifes

[Kehvlar]

Why are knives so difficult to find? It seems liek they never respawn and if u lose one or recycle it, its gg. Can this please be addressed?

[Das Trojanische Pferd]

there are knifes in flathill that respawn every reset.....
and what did you do with the mass of knifes you find?

You can make a shiv, which cuts up enemies like a knife, if you're desperate.

Given the fact there's a throwing skill, I actually think running low on knives is probably one of the less surprising things that could happen.

I dunno, right now throwing is just in a bad spot overall. Only really useful for throwing grenades. First playthrough had me try throwing knives a few times before I gave up on the skill entirely.

better question why only flathill? its so necessary to the game yet i cant seem to find any?
and i did not find a mass of knives in early game. maybe like 3 knives in total. i think i recycled one or two because i thought they would respawn

So, with blunt objects you can wind up with a right click and WHACK someone real hard from stealth. Good attack upgrade right?

I did that for the first time while farming hearts for portal tech stuff, in that void world. My sword cane, which I was also using to butcher stuff, went over the edge. Only figured it out when I re-tested the skill at home. Sure glad those only require an annoying trip to the furniture store. *grumble*

No, there's definitely more knives around the office. There's at least two in the starting cafeteria kitchen alone, and there's 3 levels of office to walk through.

office also includes the cafeteria there are i believe 3 knifes at the start in the cafeteria kitchen then 1 in the kitchen in the cubicle area and 1 in the kitchen room on the 3 floor and i think some are in the area before going to flathill ofc there are i think 2-3 not sure knifes in flathill

Flathill's knives seem to be on it's random loot-table. I don't know of any offhand that are 100% but they're often there. At least two kitchen areas, one can be reached very quickly if the locked shortcut is opened.

I have avoided throwing my swords after the first time (just not worth it for when I am in the game) but given that the NPC is supposed to bleed out or the knife should be recoverable from the wall/corner it's stuck in, carefully placed shots shouldn't consume TOO many thrown weapons. There might also be a knife or two in Rise (wasn't looking) and future areas.

PS: You do know they can be repaired with metal scrap?

I think we just need more knives/tools for butchering. So like in flathills we could find a cleaver that would butcher corpses faster and Cascade Laboratories we could find a Gigli saw, which is a flexible wire saw used for cutting bone (this item require charged).
