Well nova knifes are pretty crap how they are at the moment and i would like to contribute some ideas to make them better.
1-get rid of the charge up
2- make it possible to stab people while sprinting
3-to balance the no charge time it should use up stamina
4-when approaching a enemy from behind you should be aible to grab him and perform a stealth kill by slitting his throat. Like you get behind some 1 and press R1/melee while having the nova knifes equipped to grab the guy and perform a insta kill. This will only work if the enemy is facing his back to you. During that animation you are totally exposed and can be shot quite easy. This function will ignore the kind of dropsuit, HP and other stuff.
i know people will disagree with me on the throat slitting part but they are supposed to cut trough dropsuits like a hot knife trough butter. So targeting the probably lowest protected area should make sense. Alternative to the throat cut could be grabbing the guy and stab him multiple times in the back. Well im gonna give you a example how its done:

i know about that mechanic but thats a work around and not a intended game mechanic. The changes would not make them OP cause the range would be still very limited and only be usefull at close quarters. And in my opinion the nova knife should be more lethal up close then a shotgun if you manage to get there. |

its basically the risk vs reward thing. And scouts where designed to assasinate people so the thorat slit/ backstab would compliment the actual role. You have to think about it that scouts are fast, low scan profile but very fragile dropsuits. Adding this would make their role actually usefull. Cause of how it stands at the moment if you see a scout with nova knifes you think its a free kill. |

sure the nova knife is a situatinal weapon but it should exceel copared to other weapons in its own situation. And i will defend the OHK stealth kill from behind simply cause it needs skill to sneak up undetected to some 1. espacially now these days where most people run in a big group on ambush. in mag it was a similar situation cause the knife did like 2-3 times more damage when you hit some 1 in the back resulting in a insta kill. And yes some 1 could take multiple hits from infront. |
