Just played a few games with the Nova Knives and they are extremely fun , I hear some people complain about them I went 12/5 Just using them :).
Requires alot of patience , Most of the people never saw me coming.
Fun times with these things :) |

Monty Mole Clone wrote:anybody got any thoughts on weather the knives strike twice, so instead of doing 170 the basic knives do 340 with a charge attack?
Charge hit is damage the is listed
But Im pretty sure you get a melee boost because your melee is with the knife
So charge + attack + melee = devastation |

I'm an experienced knifer and even I don't think so. Unless a CCP Dev comes here to confirm your suspicion about the knife, I would recommend assuming that the double-strike effect is just the animation and not an actual double hit. The attributes of the knife don't seem to point to anything pertaining to a double-strike but rather to one big strike. Something to consider before running out there in the battlefield with a butter knife. Was basing that memory of knife threads. If Maken says that's not how knives work, disregard the double-strike. ETA: Yeah, randoms said they strike twice and I hadn't seen anyone dismiss the idea.
I think with the double strike each knife does half the damage listed
example : 170 / 2 = 85
This is my theory , otherwise its up to dust devs to confirm.
But but they are a fun little weapon to use , makes me feel like a ninja |

I can confirm that nova knifes do two hits of listed damage.
I hit this guy that I was sneaking up on with one knife
He had a assault suit and I cooked through his shield but didn't touch his armor.
So one hit is listed damage. |

What suits/mods do you guys use? Been running scout type 1 with scanning modules and I'm super squishy.
Scout suit with profile dampeners , you cant come at them striaght head first its all about stealth |
