TopHatMcJones Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 I don't get why they only use their knifes for hacking. Wouldn't stabbing someone be more effective than kicking them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Composite Armour Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 I'm pretty sure killing someone is more effective then stabbing them when your goal is to kill them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Of Harts Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 I'm pretty sure killing someone is more effective then stabbing them when your goal is to kill them. I'm also pretty sure that a futuristic knife will to a better job at killing someone than their boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopHatMcJones Posted March 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 I'm pretty sure killing someone is more effective then stabbing them when your goal is to kill them. But wouldn't stabbing someone be more effective? I mean, you might get a bruise or two from a kick, but a knife could cause bleeding out, or, if slashed in the correct place, could even kill you. But all to their own I guess. I'm pretty sure killing someone is more effective then stabbing them when your goal is to kill them. Sorry, didn't realise my mistake. I changed killing to kicking, sorry for the confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboose The Ace Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Because Respawn didn't program them too.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Well your answer here is simple. Your suits pretty protective near the neck area, and I'm fairly sure the data knife, which is actually dull and bland, would not be as effective as kicking someone in the back and collapsing their spine or kicking them in the chest and collapsing their ribs on their heart. Besides, it's called a data knife for a reason. It's more intelligence than killing. If you're hacking with blood on the receptors, it's not going to work out well. Especially since blood is thick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akali Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 The suits pretty much protect the entire body, sometimes the face is shown but aside from that the suit is protecting the rest of your body. Also the knives that they use to hack into Turrets and Spectres might not even be a knife. It's already being used for hacking which means that there's important bits of hardware/software inside the knife that makes it just for hacking. If they go around slashing the damned thing around and it becomes faulty... You can't hack... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sikslik7 Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 I remember Respawn talking about this once. The basic premise was that the rocket boots are going to be the best option, always. They will have a farther reach, and are propelled by thrusters, causing an even greater impact. Also, when you wall hang, sometimes the knife will be plunged into the wall instead of just your hand grabbing the wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l Xenoes l Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 It's called a data knife meant specifically for hacking. I'm pretty sure if you drove it into another pilot, their armor could damage it or their blood could make it malfunction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaconShelf Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 The knife doubles as a USB stick, as said in the art book. Blood would affect the connection. Plus it's quicker to club someone or snap their neck than pull out a knife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melody Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Because guns are more efficient, lol. That's my guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wam Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 I don't get why they only use their knifes for hacking. Wouldn't stabbing someone be more effective than kicking them? Melee in video games is only used when needed. Taking the time to reach for your knife, instead of kicking them in the chest or back or whatever with the force of a dozen firetrucks, can change the outcome. That's why people only use melee when they get scared by someone running past them around the corner of a wall. I'm sure the suits are used for combat and protection just as well as mobility. The force-kicks and neck-snaps are meant to be deadly fast. Like Flash. P.S. Melody you silly, who brings a gun to a knife-fight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
