Would love hotfix beta to include backwards speed be changed to 80%

Knives never really needed to slow down whoever you hit, as they tend to be OHK anyways.

And every player with Ishukone Nova Knives swooned for Logibro as he moved from the Dev with the best eyes to the sexiest dev alive

Alright, due to me actually looking into this a bit more I've actually found a few other things I would like to try tweaking before reducing backwards movement speed (which does on second thought have a much wider impact across the game than just chasing someone with Nova Knives).

Two things I want to try first are slightly increasing the range (currently 2 meters) and turning on aim adhesion for Nova Knives (to help you track targets at close quarters). I could also adjust the angle you do damage in, but I'm hesitant to increase it, not without trying the other two out first at least.

The other dial I've seen I can tweak is the delay between when you release the trigger and when you make your two hits. I can lower that a bit without affecting the time between "shots", but I'm not sure how helpful that's going to be.

Never ever ever allow a sprint while charged mechanic

You guys really should hold a small tournament to name the Officer Knives. The guy who wins gets his name on the Weapon ...

Backpedaling speeds should not be slower than strafing.

... if you run and jump while holding knives, instead of the usual jump you perform a long jump, faster but you can't maneuver it and with less altitude.

Let us be able to hold charges/attack while sprinting. It's so annoying to kill someone running

That is the problem I have been most concerned with.

I'm not sure if this is feasible, but maybe an increase to field of view? It would greatly help close range encounters, and personally any warping of the edges of the screen due to he increase would be fine with me seeing as the current FOV comes nowhere close to a humans roughly 180 degree FOV.

Actually many players might welcome it, seeing as I've been killed countless times by players walking beside me that were out of frame.

This could also somewhat replace the increased swipe width some players were requesting earlier by allowing us to more easily track our quarry from side to side using our (probably distorted but beloved) peripheral vision.

1. So basically you want a weapon that can do ONE THOUSAND damage fully charged,to have more range and AA or even a charge sprint?

2. AND you want it to be used by the (currently) most OP FOTM to date?

It will not be OP you have a high chance 69% of getting shot before dealing a blow

Total number of players in game good from bad,and shotgun hmg or rifle to knife,It will not be OP.However if your a good knifer you could make it op,but if your a noob at it not so much.Do ya understand.

What's with you people

You don't know that,and I am quite sure knives will not be very FOTM

I wonder how long till this gets into effect.
