I got instakilled by a nova knife earlier. Not sure if it was one big hit or many hits in a fraction of a second, a la Arirana-style melee glitch. What I do know is it did 900 damage before I could even pull the trigger.
He came round a corner in the city, face to face with me, I heard the NK noise and I dropped dead. Probably he had me on passive scan so knew I was coming, hence how he got his hits off before I could fire.
Anyway, just thought I'd put that out there in case someone had any ideas about what happened, since I know nothing about NK's myself. |

Working as intended.
A scout, certainly, don't remember if gal or min. But even assuming it's a min scout, 900 damage in 0.1 seconds (or something) seems rather a lot. The suit bonus is only +25% at level 5. |

The suit bonus is only +25% at level 5. Charge swipe, ishukone nova knives. You're looking at 550 per swipe if he charged them, and swipes come in doubles - each charge attack or trigger tap you swipe twice.
Okay, fair enough. I'm not QQing, just genuinely didn't know that NKs could do that.
It's a bit surprising that this isn't more of a 'thing'. Seems like it could be very powerful in the right hands but it's one of the few things I've never heard QQ about (and to repeat, I'm not QQing here!). |

The suit bonus is only +25% at level 5. If your worried that its excessive then don't. The risk involved in closing the distance is immense as well as requiring a charge you can't initiate on the run. Then there is just the lousy peripheral vision and occasionally dodgy hit detection (though a lot better than previous patches)
Yeah, I get that. The guy went 19-14 or something, hardly OP. Just hadn't seen the incredible damage first hand before (usually get NKed in the back  ). |

I think in many ways the event not only increased the number, but also gave others a chance for others to learn how to look out for, and counteract knifers.
An aware red is much harder to atack :/
Also the passive scan buff probably helped. Will be interesting to see if the cloak is enough to push scouts fully into the mainstream. |
