How many of you guys use the Nova Knives as sidearms? Not as your main weapon, but as a compliment to your primary?

pre 1.4 they were my main weapon. afterwards it just went downhill...
the only thing worse than the hit detection now is the accursed frame rate when using them.

Better off with any other sideman than nova knives.
They are only used for those wanting a challenge and change of pace.

I don't always use nova knives. But when I do, they're my primary weapon.
Also, Why must a sidearm mean secondary weapon?

No one uses it as a sidearm, maybe because they aren't viable as a sidearm. |

"Reading is fundamental!"
Problem here is the fact they they make a terrible sidearm.
A sidearm complements your main weapon, or acts as a finisher or last resort when caught reloading.
Well, Nova Knives suck as a last resort in a gunfight, and is an even worse finisher (Just melee him!)
Even when complementing your main (Knives/SMG comes to mind. Excellent Short-mid range combo), the knives need to be really specced out to be useful, which then deal so much damage, you use them as a main.
I used to main knives with SMG's, but I have since switched to Assault Scrambler Pistols and SMG's.
Far more useful, and versatile.

Disagree. Why would you need two CQC weapons? When using a Shotgun, an SMG is a much better sidearm, since it has CQC viability and longer range than the shotgun. I.e, if you run out of ammo with the shotty, you can still use an SMG to great effect at close range, and it will help alleviate some of the range problems of the shotgun.
If you get caught at 10-15m with a Shotgun/Nova Knive kit, you better run like hell, because neither weapon is going to be of much use at that range.

You are correct there, which is why its very situational. |

Since the hit detection isn't any good it is kinda my sidearm. I try to use it whenever possible though but it isn't what it should be so gets relegated to my sidearm for when an enemy is busy hacking or whatever

I know that I am doing a lot more than the posted damage even with the +20% to shield ok the damage stated in the descripition for knives is for 1 knife uncharged when u swing if only one knife hits it will do the displayed damage in the description if both knives hit then displayed damage is double. A charge of the knife roughly doubles the amount displayed per knife. so with maxed proficiency and the proto minny suit skill maxed with proto knives you charged damage will be 1428 IF both knives hit |
