Ever play BF3? not a OHK there, and it's a pretty good FPS, better than COD anyways

Its designed to finish off somone you just emptied out your magazine out on. Also Dropsuit armor is made of stuff you cant really cut with a regular knife (since most are nanite forged) so energy assisted blades where made to cut though the materials and the fact that personal shields have gotten good enough to asorb hits traveling near lightspit from a dart it would be good enough to stop a plasma edged knife. Thus you have to cut though the shields as well.

How about we work on how knifing works instead of the clumbersome system is.

Also you negate the need to train knife skills as an idiot with a knife is sure damned gauranteed to do less damage than a pro knife killer.

Also the bionics for the arms to make knives smash though alot harder.

It was said a near maxed out knife player can cut a heavy down in four strikes, the problem is though is performing all four strikes as it stands now. Then again that was before they added tier 2 weapon skills I have no idea what is the max knife damage now.

Now I would rather see a damage bonus for knifing somone in the back so to say, similar to how a shot to the head works for guns knives could get thier bonus from any general aera mostly to the back.

I don't care if we're in space or whatever, as it stands it has a very long swing time and barely any damage.
It needs to be one hit kill like in all other good FPS.

The knife is a 1HK on most scouts. I do agree the knife is a joke atm. We are in space I want a ******* laser sword as a melee weapon.

Ask the amarrians one for one. They have em I think. Minmtar has some sort of spear as well. Gallente have this hatchet looking knife though.

No we do not need ohk melee weapons

ANTI-LIKE!

1_ There are skills to make it stronger.
2_ There are things you can equip on your dropsuit fittings to make knife stronger.
3_ Instant kill makes it have overpowered compared to guns, which do low damage.

Knife speed needs to be improved though, and knife should cancel reloading. There should maybe be a range buff.

Remote explosive damage distance against owner needs to be fixed so a people using them would be less able to use them like a grenade and get caught in thier own blast.

Knife is underpowered -- I can't OHK a sargis.

Ohk melee will be abused just like re's are now you will have a scout with all the speed upgrades running around knifing just like you have scouts running up to you and throwing down re's and blowing you up

just like someone mentioned, 2 hit kill from the front and 1 hit kill from the back, the knife then will have some use and be a used weapon.

The same people that are against 1HK knife are the same people abusing RE. Knife needs to be 2HK and 1HK on scouts.(it already is a 1HK on most scouts) RE needs to be planted like a claymore so they are not used as an "I win" button.

I think this is a good tradeoff that should make everyone happy.

melee attacks should be removed from the game anyways. COD knifing used to be hard to do and a big deal, but now its a joke and as you move through 100 bullets to do a little slash for a kill.

BF3 knifing was a bit better but still its annoying to be facing and enemy then the knife animation happens that cannot be stopped when it shouldn't be killing you

Dust right now thankfully knife attacks are hard to do AND don't do whole lots of damage... next good step is to remove the knife option. using a knife is supposed to be a last resort.

There are tons of games without a OHK knife, and they do great. Pro tip, if you don't miss you don't need to knife.

He doesn't have the SP, since he blew it all on Trolling Proficiency Level 5.

This is a strafe and shoot high health fps. It need a good melee system to be a success. It shouldn't be a 1HK. But it shouldn't be useless at the same time. 2HK tbh. 1 hit for shields 1 hit for health.

This right here makes sense. Agreed.

I don't understand what people have against the knife. Its so much more personal and romantic to kill someone with a knife then it is to shoot them.

You agree huh why 1 hit for shield with a knife ? how many shots does it take to take down a shield ? Ant one hit kill for health which we don't have it should say armor why should the knife take down all armor in one hit? How many shots would this take? I would rather the knife be in a slot on the dropsuit like everything else so I can remove it and put something in its place

Change the title to knife works as intended

As for all good FPS games have OHK knife, that is just absolute crap. Halo is considered one of the most competitive FPS games ever created and thats not even a 1hk melee unless it is from behind.

What!
First competitive doesn't mean demanding.
Second you forget about Quake, Unreal, CS, Operation Flashpoint & Arma, Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon, and all FPS that preceded Halo.
Third: in a game bases on range combat, based on guns, the melee is the ultimate resource so it must be worth it and not be frustrating.

With proper skills & modules it IS a 2-3 hit kill, unless you're trying to take on a heavy. I've had a scout knife me to death while in my heavy suit. Couldn't freaking turn fast enough to kill him before he bled out my suit's reserves.

I Vote for 1 Hit Kill... with a normal killing range

Just had to jump in again and say hell no get some gun game you don't need the knife problem solved

The knife does need to be fixed. Not the damage. The inconsistencies and delay. Or just give us a nova sword.

Yes hit detection in general needs to be fixed but on topic the knife should never be a one hit kill change the title

I didn't start the thread I can't.It is a 1HK on scouts btw. The only time you ever really get a chance to knife a scout is when they are sniping. If they are going to camp with a sniper rifle you deserve to to get 1HK tbh.

No to the knife being some major OMGBBQ weapon. It should be a last ditch effort to save yourself and even then it should have a terrible time at doing so.

I wouldn't train for half a year to acquire a heavy with massive slow tank just to be 1HK'ed by a scout from behind. Half a year of game skill time nullified by a scout militia with zero skills. No one would use anything but scouts in CQC for knife spam. Good way to bust up the game in one move.

Knifes needs to be cleaner and more responsive. Yet 1HK is simply a horrible mechanic for those with no gun game in a damn gun game.

I already said i don't care about space stuff, it's an FPS and the knife should be consistent not an awful unused weapon.

I have killed people with knifes when my SMG ran out of ammo. It's meant to be a BACKUP weapon, a last resort. IF my whole SMG clip is empty, spam R3 and L3 (Thanks Socal_Ninja) to quickknife and they are dead. Easy as.
Look at it this way, at least Dust follows something CoD doesn't. It's called LOGIC.

Unless theY going to put multiple knives and swords in this game. Knifing should be a one hit kill because that makes the game fun when u can bail yourself out with your knife after shooting a enemy thats has more skill points and he doesnt die after 50 shots.

Exactly what im saying! Or at least make it so that after you've shot them, then you can kill them will less than 3 knifing attacks. More like, 1. But not so that you just kill them without having shot them first. Just beef up the damage, range, and hit detection.

Knifing =1hk

Lol if they let someone get close enough to knife them then they deserve to die

If a Scout is doing their job ...you should find said knife in back

I can do my scout suit wonders to get close enough to you.

Kool you should name your scout suit ninja

Seem like a lot of these eve players don't have a clue how a fps should be lmao

I am not an EVE player, I am an FPS player but this is clearly a bad idea. If this was a game where people died in 3 shots, then a 1 hit kill knife would be appropriate, but this isn't the case. A one hit kill knife would be grossly overpowered compared to a regular weapons which would do insanely low damage by comparison. Just because you think this is how an FPS should be doesn't mean it is.

Please lets let this thread sink and die.

I will never be a scout so I can agree with that, snipers deserve that not everyone else and I know you can't change the title sadly it says knifes should be a ohk maybe it should say knifes should be a ohk to scouts
