Tactical Information
- You can kill Chargers by throwing four 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.
