why does the basic shotgun have more damage then the basic nova knifes when the nova knifes are harder to use? |

Simple answer using a question:
Can you charge the shotgun?
Plus, Proficiency adds damage to shields only with the Shotgun, while the Knives' increase both profiles.
Double Plus, Sidearm Damage Mods increase damage 1 percent more than Light ones do, so there's that.
TRIPLE PLUS OMG, Knives have a suit that increase raw damage at an incredible rate per level. The shotgun doesn't.
End Result: If skilled into both weapons in maximum damage potential, knives win. If not skilled into either, shotgun wins. I'm too lazy to do math, so I'm not sure when the knives overtake the shotgun. |

Nova Knives are more fun. They require a more "silent" kind of gameplay, sneaking up on people from behind and stabbing them in their back.

Standard NKs are 120 per hit per knife. Each swipe is a hit with each knife, so if both hit, that is 240.
Then Charging comes in. Charging easily gets you 2X damage (I think the consensus among knifers is 2.3 but I have never heard anything official) Which conservatively puts a charged strike with both knives hitting at 480.
I think that is right around where std shotguns are, if not more so.
There again knives are used differently as others have mentioned.

You forgot the part where you take aim/range into account.

Male cats typically do not get along with one another.
