Hai guys,
First thread (:0)
So, there is only one melee weapon and that is the knife.
Now I don't really see much people with the knife....infact there are
probably no one who plays knife. Now its a really fun weapon to use.
In 1v1 knife only, its really FUN! Even with people who use autos, it
gives you a whole new strategy. To be stealthy.
Now, I want to improve the weapon pool for melee weapons by adding the:
BALLISTIC KNIFE
This weapon will be available in two slots: Primary and Secondary.
Movement speed will also be increased by 1/5 times faster(you have KNIVES not massive guns).
Also, when this ballistic knife is equipped, it will replace the normal knives.
Now for the damage:
There will be two ways to use this weapon.
Melee:
Its dual wield and attack speed is 0.2s (when attacking melee, one knife is used at a time,
hence the fast attack speed(but if its too OP it can be changed)).
The range this weapon can reach is 1m radius.
No Armor:
Head: 100
Arms:55
Body: 65
Groin: 60
Legs: 55
Armor(Helmet and Kevlar):
Head: 55
Arms: 35
Body: 45
Groin: 40
Legs: 35
Ranged:
This knife will shoot like a bullet when shot.
Also, when it hits an enemy, it will stay there and deal significant blood loss damage(you have a KNIFE in your body)
unless it is removed.
The shooting speed will be 0.3s and one knife will be used at a time. Reload speed will be 0.75s.
There will be a total of 8knives. If extra ammo is used, it will be increased to 16knives.
If people are using ballistic knife and they die, they will drop the amount of knives they had.
No Armor:
Head:100
Arms: 60
Body: 70
Groin: 65
Legs: 60
Armor(Helmet and Kevlar)
Head: 60
Arms: 40
Body: 50
Groin: 45
Legs: 40.
Iv also got a derp sketch of how it looks. I done it on my ipad so it might be even more derp...

Katana! Katana! Katana!

[[Sk&Bh]Txc]

Come on be original .

Why not balistic katana ?
:D

[redsnappa]

I think a ballistic knife is too much like COD. A shuriken, on the other hand...

I second the katana motion; either that or a longsword would be a good secondary weapon.

And if we already have Saints Row IV installed, can we change the katana to our favorite pink bat?

The knife isn't the only melee weapon if you count boots! Kicking and curb stomps are fun! Also, I know a few people who play primarily with the knife. ...and they are assholes. ...and I mean that in the nicest way possible (please STOP stabbing me in the back though :D )

I'm not sure what this ballistic knife is supposed to be exactly... I just keep imagining Link from Legend of Zelda with full hearts, shooting glowing blades from his sword.

I love going knife only. I actually a couple days ago got the most kills on ctf-east using only knife.

If I were to do anything to the knife, I would make it able to be selected as a primary weapon, and when that happens, you get 50% more stamina, because as you said, you don't have a heavy gun to carry.

Equiping it as Primary would not change damage output in any way, just the stamina boost.


EDIT:

What if these throwing knives were changed to actually throw straight instead of adding ballistic knives? Many times i've tried to throw a knife at someone, aiming in the middle of the torso, and it doesn't hit...

I know it's a 'show off your pro skillz' weapon, but when it's pretty much random to get a hit, it needs some sort of change.

If you guys think its too much like COD then,
Maybe you can change it to daggers,
Daggers are like knives and you can throw them!
I also do want the idea that they can be used as
a primary weapon and that can increase speed/stamina.
But I think if the daggers/knives are thrown they
should go straight, have higher damage/have a massive bleed
damage effect(you have a knife stuck in your arm...) also maybe
faster shooting speed/reload and maybe more knives/the extra
ammo item is applied to the knife.

I kinda tested throwing knives in 4.2. Of course, I only threw about 3, so maybe the sample size is too small :P

Throwing all the way across Dressing Room, my knife hit the lamp my crosshair was centered on, so the arc that throwing knives used to have seems to be gone. However, throwing a knife straight up, it does come back down, so they must be effected by gravity at least a little bit.

Sooo..... yeah, knives seem to be flying in pretty much a straight line even over a very long distance. I imagine you would have to try sniping across Riyadh before you noticed any arc. I haven't tried though, so I dunno.
