i seriously do not understand how the devs thought it would be a good idea to give us a perk that makes our melee damage do more damage and then give us a knife AND NOT EVEN LET US USE THE KNIFE AS A MELEE WEAPON

yeah thats the only thnig that makes no sense.
would be nice if we could hold the kinfe like a nade, but it is what it is
as far as i tested it you can 2 hit hunters with melee but warriors takes over 5 hits

At least give us a Vibro Knife. Or something with a Nanoedge . I stab the next Walker playin Helldihab ofc a White FabWalker with my last knife in his Turret

to expensive for them if you only throw it away

I think its a bit unreasonable to make melee damage apply to a thrown knife, but maybe the armor effect shows that melee weapons might be considered in future updates?

they should have made it so we could pick them back up in the first place

Can it 1 shot a Devastator to the face?

[darkblade]

I did try that but its realy hard to aim, i killed a devestator with 2 knives 1 was in the head the other in the chest area, so maybe yes, if you dont hit the head you need 3 that i can say

Adding melee weapons to the game is non-trivial. Given how Arrowhead have handled everything else, chances are all of our melee settings - stats, animation, hitbox, etc. - are hardcoded and not changeable on the fly. They've talked about implementing melee weapons in the past, but only in vague terms. It leads me to believe that no work has been done on the subject - or at least nothing actionable enough to have substance to it.

By contrast, adding a "grenade that looks like a knife" IS trivial. The grenade is just a projectile, and the combat system already allows for a custom damage profile. More to the point, we already have the Thermite grenade, which centres properly in the hand, tumbles and sticks to targets. The Knife, then, can be implemented as nothing more complex than a Thermite Grenade without any of the Termite, but a lot more impact damage on first contact.

In short - it's a lot easier to add a throwing knife than anything to do with melee.

Wait can you not even resuse them? What benefit does the throwing knife even provide over other grenades?
