Name one other weapon that's silent when used and doesn't make you appear on nearby enemy mini-maps.
...and that's about it. With the right skills and buffs, you could out-DPS Nova Knives in Codex. Not sure if that's still the case now, though. Haven't checked the math properly yet. Waiting on someone who's skilled into Nova Knives to update me on the details I'm missing. |

Waiting on someone who's skilled into Nova Knives to update me on the details I'm missing. Not important. Good luck killing anything that's not stationary and isn't blind with it. Even if you sneak, its rare to have enough time to charge up the knife and attack one or twice before he looks around and kills you.
I wasn't saying it was an important advantage. I was saying it's about the only advantage you get. They WEREN'T worth the asking price in Codex, but because I don't know how much has changed, I can't be 100% certain they're the same in the current build.
OP asked what they do that other weapons don't. There is one thing they do that other weapons don't, and I said what that one thing is. I never said it made them a worthwhile option, or that it was "important" enough to be worth using them. Just that it's something that other weapons don't do. |

The Nova Knife, if you one-hit-kill a sniper, will give the sniper a false impression that he/she was counter-sniped by someone else and will occasionally come back to the same spot.
Who is so oblivious to not read on the top right corner what weapon killed them? Oh well, i guess some snipers are really dense. I've seen quite a few and it's like they can't pay attention to anything but their scope, and barely even that. Good snipers are but a few, horrible snipers are everywhere.
To be fair, the notifications do cycle out of sight pretty fast at times, and while your screen is half-red, it's sometimes hard to read the (mostly red) text when you fall on the wrong angle. I've seen a time when my girlfriend did almost exactly this, but she died to a Shotgunner. What I'm confused about is that she never heard the Shotgun, but I did. Normally she's quite a good sniper, but that just made me facepalm. |

They don't require a stupid reload. My victims can confirm that for me as they struggled to reload while trying to dodge me in a close quarter 1v1 confrontation while I sprint literally under their gun. Mass driver, dodge that. Easy, kill you before you have a chance to pull the trigger.
I could be wrong, but the last time I checked, Mass Drivers had SLIGHTLY longer range than Nova Knives.
Feel free to tell me otherwise if that's changed? |

Interesting how people forget that one can come from behind, below, and from above.
So basically what I do to people with Shotguns then?
Just making sure that was still the way to do it. Carry on. |
