Hey Folks,
So, my Assault AR build is starting to bore me a little, and as such I've been experimenting with scout suits with Shotguns. Now, what I really want to try is Nova Knives, any advice on suggested dropsuit fits?
Thanks in advance

Scout suit (aim for B Series eventually, so you can add a massive-melee punch immediately after the slash... the punch will probably do more damage than the knives), fill low slots with kinetic catalysers, put sidearm damage mods in the high slots if you have the CPU/PG, carry flux nades to guarantee one-hit kills once the shields are down.
This will eat up all of your CPU/PG fairly quickly. Throw in some remote explosives once you're using better suits/skill into more CPU/PG. The main focus is going to be speed and knives. |

Nova Knives are just so lame right now. As the above person mentioned, your melee swing probably does more damage than a Nova Knife. The Knife is also loud when it fires, warning people around your opponent that something is going down. I would just stick to shotguns over NK. The shotgun is most effective at the range that a Knife even starts to work.
Shotguns also do not have a charge up time so there is no need to use a melee if the enemy is not quite dead yet after a shell to the back.
Be well. |

first... wow had the urge to call an old gf after watching the vid second i hate nova knives and think they should buff them some.
third *stabs Gbghg*
nova knives have to little damage for being a melee weapon. 120 base melee hit proto knive 190 w/ .5second charge. rather just use my smg or scambler pistol if i feel like being PRO. |

It's Pokeball, not Pokerball. What do you think this is, Texas Hold'em? |

I've been playing for a while, and I haven't seen much of nova knives. What little I have seen didn't seem to impressive. If I were you, I'd put my SP towards scrambler pistols, those can actually help you. Whenever someone tries to hit me with a nova knife I usually just back up a little and lay into them with an assault rifle. I've only been killed with them once, and at that time I wasn't thinking too clearly. Hope this helped a little. |

There's a good chance that player you killed didn't know about the melee+R1 glitch. There are still plenty of players (even non-knife users) who know about this glitch. It's rather easy for me to catch up to you if you walk backwards considering that I am able to sprint over 9.4m/s while you can only walk backwards at about 5m/s. That and I usually circle around you to throw off your shots. If I can survive a 1v1 against a heavy, I'm pretty sure I can handle an assault. I'm also able to dodge most sniper shots this way. Of course, only the expert snipers (which are so few at the moment) are able to hit me no problem. |
