The event isn't any fun without an ninjas. Although I can't blame you.
I donned a pair of nova knives with a complex sidarm damage modifier and I couldn't kill ANYTHING. I mean nevermind how hard it is to be a sneaky mothafucka in this game, but the fact that the damage on the basic nova knives is so low, and the charge up takes a pretty significant amount of time, and you can't sprint while charging... they are useless.
Really there should be a special mechanic in place for being sneaky. Say if you aren't on the person's scan, you get an extra damage bonus, that for knives means an insta kill charged, or near kill un-charged. At the moment though, unless you're a proto ninja, you're just cannon fodder. |

Skill into ZN's. Basic knives are a death sentence. Sometimes its hard enough to land the first hit let alone a bunch of following hits as all someone has to do is back step. With ZN's you at least have a higher probability of alphaing down a red in the first charge.

I just put together a stack of 200 advanced scout fittings last night. My plan is to burn through as many as I can during the event. It shouldn't be hard as I am not a nova knife master. I'm looking forward to it. Though sadly I must go to work right now :( |

guerilla and stealth tactics don't work in this game, thanks to active scanners and flashing objectives
and the militia vehicle scanner scans at 35 db so it picks up scouts
any alpha damage weapons don't work as well because you have to be accurate, your opponents who favor high rof, automatic weapons don't have to be accurate at all, they just hipfire and even if 90% of the bullets miss they can still kill you because of the enormous clip sizes of their weapons
they don't need to have awareness or tactics, they can just tank a logi suit, scan constantly and hipfire, no skill required |

A low level scout maybe but a scout with proper skills invested will beat that passively.

Pretty much this. Unlike with the new rifles, you cannot use knifes if you don't skill into them.
They are beast once you have prof 3, though. |
