Isn't the throwing knife a little strong?
I started using a throwing knife about 2 or 3 weeks ago. This weapon is extremely lightweight, noiseless, and can reliably kill an enemy with a single blow. There is no reloading, the rate of continu...

@ElliotLH I think that's a double-edged sword (knife?) with lowering accuracy. In most cases your first bullet you shoot is fairly accurate, if you had a chance for the knife to just go wherever when you threw it, it would be pretty awful. honestly, it probably just doesn't belong in the game.
Pro-tip, if you play as dozer, you can just shield -> knife throw -> shield over and over. It's horrendously cheap.

@Anobix Very much so. It's a fine line between being a bit too powerful and rubbish. I think reducing the accuracy could still work if it wasn't made too crazy or random knife deviation(TM), but maybe just reducing the OHK distance could be an alternative. It's admittedly been a while since I've used them but I remember the range being quite far.
Definitely going to use that Dozer tip. That sounds like a hilarious way of mining salt 😂

- @ElliotLH Oh there is some serious saltiness that happens with it, lol!
My buddies and I were going around as a full squad like that and/or with smb/shotgun, it was disgusting.
The range is way further than I would expect, and with virtually no drop, I was always trying to angle it expecting it to fall like a grenade, but it doesn't nearly require nearly as much arching.- @Anobix I'll be forever grateful that I wasn't against you lot. I'd have gone to a single player game if I'd have been on the receiving end of that haha. That's excellent.
Maybe just reducing the range would be better then. I know it's a knife and sharp things hurt, but it could be made a bit more realistic. I guess the two ideas could merge as well - make it so the accuracy isn't a good at range.No need to reduce the range, stop messing with all the blinking nerfs.
It is however hilarious that with practice it can be almost as deadly as the now POINTLESS shotguns.
