Tactical Information
- Chargers can be killed using four Throwing Knives aimed at their leg joint[1].
- Knives will fly slightly to the left of the crosshair and have a modest arc to their flight path, necessitating a fair amount of skill and practice to land consistent weakspot hits.
- Reports suggest that the throwing knife can bypass shields (such as the SH-32 Shield Generator Pack's) under certain circumstances.
- Thrown knives cannot currently be retrieved, regardless of where they've landed. The K-2 also cannot be used in melee, even if specifically wielded.
- Despite having Medium AP, the K-2 Throwing Knife cannot deal damage to Automaton Tanks or support Turrets (e.g. Cannon, Mortar), even if hitting them in the heatsinks. As such, additional weaponry/stratagems must be used to eliminate these threats.
- There is currently a bug where if you are the host of the game, the throwing knives you use will alert enemies. Therefore it is recommended to use quickplay or join other players lobbies for maximum effectiveness.
- It is possible to disable any Automaton Mine by throwing a knife slightly above it.
