Tactical Information
- 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.
- 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.
- The Throwing Knives are thrown silently, they will not alert static enemies if you miss or kill nearby enemy with a single throw.
- Killing any unit in patrol with a knife will be noticed by the rest of the enemy group, forcing them to search your last known location.
- It is possible to disable Automaton Mines by throwing knives at them. The knife must not hit the mine directly - as this will cause the mine to detonate - but instead hit the ground right next to the mine. Shooting a disabled mine will still cause it to explode.
- Knives can be used to destroy Ammo Dumps in Sabotage Supply Bases missions.
- Resupplying from the Supply Pack or the Resupply stratagem will refill 20 knives.
