you numbers are misleading....fully modded a knife will do around 450 damage a pop. doesnt matter what suit you are in, that will be effective as long as you can get the hit
although i will say if your tryin to knife someone outside of a crisis situation in a heavy suit......your doing it wrong.....L2P
The knife can do well over 500HP of damage fully modded, enough to make it an incredibly efficient killing weapon, even against heavies.
In case you wanted the actual proof:
Base knife damage: 135HP
lvl 5 Knife handling (50%): 202HP
1 complex MS (50%): 303HP
2 complex MS (43.5%): 434HP
3 complex MS (28.5%): 558HP
On that note...

The trick is to spec into the knife 5 points and then wear the 50% damage modifiers. It saves a lot of pistol ammo and you fly across the map OHK knifing pretty much everyone. Speed modifiers help too. I can drop a 2-5 kdr with that loadout most of the time.
How do you actually manage to consistently connect with the knife? I tried a knife fitting some time back, but had to drop it due to the sheer difficulty and inconsistency of getting the knife to actually register a hit. I get plenty of knife kills finishing off heavies that survive my two shotgun blasts, but it is never consistent enough to use regularly in my experience. |

With all speed modifiers I can stack and triple damage modifiers on the proto scout suit. Sprint knife is a consistent 1HK on everyone other then heavies. No one expects you sprint up and just knife them with a OHK. So I get away with it alot. If people with ARs see you run away and flank them. Most people are to slow to keep up with scout flank tactics.
This is pretty much an expensive joke load out. It throw people off to knife them in the face because it is a rare tactic. Some people will come back and try and knife me after I kill them just to get OHK again. lol
For those that think that this is hard. Have you ever tried to get hit markers on a scout with his pistol out and lvl 5 mobility.
That is pretty much the exact fitting that I used, only substituting the pistol for a shotgun.
I even managed to find an assault suit running, completely oblivious to my presence. I ran up behind him knifing and knifing and knifing...and knifing, even bumping into him a few times, not a single hit marker. I eventually got bored of it and shot him in the back of the head. Similar situations happened over and over again until I finally got fed up and deleted the fitting.
Maybe I just had a string of bad luck? |

Similar situations happened over and over again until I finally got fed up and deleted the fitting. Maybe I just had a string of bad luck? idk maybe connection? I have OHK plenty of people and I have been OHK a couple times by JIM BILL 420 warrior. Watch some knife only game play. You have to be really sneaky. PRO TIP-When people are headglitching walk up behind them and trap them up against the wall so they can't get away. Oh and don't drink and use this fitting you will wake up with nothing but militia gear.
I know it isn't meant to be a primary killing fitting, no matter how much damage you can do with the knife, you can always be more effective with a gun (in the current build, at least).
After hearing this, I might actually consider trying again. I still have about 50 complex MSs sitting around, AUR and ISK. I'd like to be able to get some good all knife games like I could in MAG, I can see the potential, but I don't know if it will actually pan out in practice.

You can't buy any of the unique items that come with the merc pack on the market. For the consumables, you get the 50 that you start out with and that's it.
Oh and laser guns will be cool too, I'm all for more AV based weapons. Even though I don't use any AV equipment. |
