The distinction between melee and nova knife usage is not clear to me.
Do nova knives count as a melee attack and therefore benefit from both Mynofibre whatsits catalysers, the chems that boost melee damage?
Or do nova knives count as sidearms and therefore get a damage boost from sidearm damage upgrade modules?
Or both?
Or Neither?
Thank you in advance for your polite informative replies.  |

Nova knives in Dust 514 are NOT considered melee weapons, therefore melee damage modules will NOT apply to it. |

They're specifically listed independent of melee on the Minmatar suit bonus.
I'd say that confirms they aren't treated as melee. |

Damage mods work.
Though, anything that says 'melee damage' is not applied to the Nova Knives. Neither was the Melee aim assist that was included in Uprising.

Nova knives are a sidearm so the only way to increase damage is to fit damage mods, train your proficiency skill or run the minmitar scout suit. |

Well, if you train up the knives to their max and fit complex sidearm damage mods, you'll be able to deal up to 1,200 HP damage in a single charged hit. |

Different weapons have different melee animations. They probably just used the same the knife attack animation. |
