Default knife

The Default Knife

The knife is a melee weapon which is permanently equipped with the player.

A knife cannot be purchased in the buy menu, nor it can be dropped.

It is an extremely short range weapon but the most powerful in the game. The knife is a one shot kill to any part of the player, including the feet

The knife was introduced in the version 0.4.0, on popular community request.

Usage[]

• Knife is a melee weapon, thus it is only usable on a point blank range. This requires a player to sneak close to the enemy.

• Knife has the fastest running speed which should be exploited to run from an enemy, if the bomb explodes or to quickly navigate the map.

• Knife rewards with $1500 for each kill. This is useful for sustaining team economy.

Knife finishes[]

Knife finishes are the highest grade cosmetics in the game. Knife skins can only be found in weapon cases or purchased in the marketplace. These have a rare drop rate from cases.

There are 12 types of knives in the game, each with different skins:

Tactics[]

  • Knife kills are very convenient on pistol rounds, as knife kills give $1500 per kill
  • You can use your knife to gain more movement speed. This can help you escape the bomb explosion, enemies, or simply for movement.
  • However, it is not advised for you to use it too much, as some enemies may catch you off-guard.
  • Knives are a better alternative than pistols on close quarter combat when you run out of ammo.


Trivia[]

  • The default Standoff 2 knife is a Ka-Bar knife
  • The default knife has an engraving "Ka Bar Olean NY" which refers to the knife name and the place of its production, Olean New York.

  • Knives are the only finish which cannot be procured by crafting 10 lower grade skins.
