Re: Do you want the knife as a throwable option?

Either option would be cool.

If it were used as a grenade, it could essentially do more damage than a conventional grenade because it requires far more precision instead of exploding in an area of effect. The 100 damage is probably appropriate.

If it were another weapon in the game, the amount of throwing knives available would increase, which I don't think is a problem. It would basically become a short-range version of the bow and should have reduced damage to match, especially considering the speed and stealth benefits. That said, it should have severe distance fall off to prevent it from being abused to "snipe" people from 200 meters away with essentially no warning.

No. But as they love to add dumb things, to make the game less Apex, constantly, I wouldn't be surprised.

@CCbathwater I know what Apex needs to make it more Apex. Gorillas. We need a trained gorilla as a playable character. It would be full Apex. Apex Apex. And the gorilla could throw rolling, exploding barrels with random effects. Sticky tar barrels, fire barrels, banana barrels. Oooh, I'm really starting to get into this.

Oh, and when you pick up a throwing knife it should instantly upgrade all of your weapon attachments to lvl 4. Why waste time shooting spiders when you could cheese upgrades even faster.
