This warbond is all about getting up close and personal. The new AR Carbine is made for close engagements, hence its spread. The Bushwacker is great for fending off melee attackers of all sizes and for when you're up in their faces. The knife... well at the moment it's pretty much a novelty. Quiet, yes, but can only really one-shot trash mobs, and you lose a grenade slot for it. Doesn't help that you can't pick the knife back up either. I need to do more testing but that's about it. The update was the real winner here though.
Ability to melee when you have the knife out would be great. Knives are great for bleeding out medium targets though, so don't spam it to kill 1 target.
Not really quiet, there's a video testing the knife and it instantly alerts every enemy close to the one you were targeting, so at this point the knife is the most useless thing in the game, sadly
@@antoniopg221honestly i see people overhype stealth in the game, its really just a simple range of vision that enemies can spot you from, like its the same kind of stealth you see in skyrim which is to say a pretty lazy one that is just sort of there
We can run loadout with 3 shotguns now (any shotgun for primary, bushwhacker for secondary and break-action shotgun for support weapon) btw, break-action shotgun has a solid stock, but its picture when you equip it shows that it has pistol grip and collapsible stock
I still think it’s really sad the throwing knife does not one shot heavy enemies. Like I get it it’s just a knife but your trading out a grenade that can kill MULTIPLE fodder/medium targets for a weapon that can only DAMAGE one. And not even kill it
I think they should just add knives as standard backup weapon, like 4 throwing knives or a hunting knife to use as a last resort. Nobody is going to use the throwing knives over grenades.
It is pretty bad, especially since it's the ONLY silent throwable weapon (silent weapon at all). But I will say, I can do something like run the Eruptor or Exploding Crossbow as a primary, then run Verdict/Bushwacker, and then take knives or stuns. The best? No, but fun? Yeah, and it's the tradeoff for no grenade option, so I use more stratagems (or a mobbing support weapon instead).
Have you ever since a knife that can hit through army heavy tank before in your life? The question is no and this throwing knife is very similar in real life that throwing knife can't his enemy with heavy armour... Duh
The throwing knife seems a bit underwhelming, plus lag and hit detection will make it possibly worse. Consider the fact the guy playing has the 50% melee perk as well, but I don't recall if the devs said the knife benefits from it.
The knives dont benifit from the armor bonus, theres honestly no point to them being in the game since you trade out the higher damage and AoE of grenades for a single use, single target throwing knife that you cant pick back up or even melee with, also cant stealth kill with it since the enemy getting killed will alert nearby enemies
About the knife... I was not able to unlock them yet with lack of medals. Can anybody test if knife can "melee" or not?(R3 in PS version) our new armor set adds "melee buff" and its with knife warbond. just curious.
Trading out an armor set and two weapons for 3 skins, one that we only see for like 15 seconds for a whole match, 1 that we can hardly ever see since its buried in the ground, and the last one definitely not going to see because Ive only seen a handful of players actually bring in the mechs, also that pointless player title, i rather use the ones from level ups since those show off dedication rather than saying that I spent 10 dollars to call myself a viper commando
that knife hit of the bot in the end
"first try"

The shotgun ... is pretty fun!

Can you get melee kills with the knife tho ?? 😫😩
No.
It's a throwing knife. You can get throwing kills.
@@lukemehalick370its a knife, you should be able to swing it
I've read that if you melee while the knife is in hand then you will melee with it but I haven't been able to try this myself
Nope and you can’t pick up the knife.

@@yongming929 Realistically though, you should be able to pick them back up unless they get exploded however.
@@cjwat1118enemies killed will still make other enemies around get alerted so its not that good for stealth either
I'll have to feel the impact of the AR Carbine myself, but the audio feedback sounds SUPER satisfying, same with the Bushwhacker

Throwing knife doesn’t look so good.
Should have either been infinite ammo or gave us the ability to pick our knives off the ground to restock.
looks like this thing is only good on bug fronts, but even so the ammo count makes it super lame.
@@wzx6x6z6w incideries better on that front
Has anyone tested the knife as part of a stealth build or just bitching without testing like the crossbow?
Doesn't even kill Devastators effectively. Why not just impact nade them?

Can shotgun stagger stalkers? If it is, i may use my sickle again...
im gonna make all the classes from DRG after this lmao
the knife should 1 shot hunter mannnnn
This new shotgun is just "Mozambique here!"
yeah, was pretty telling when we saw the knife not even kill a warrior in the clip meant to show it off lmao
What about stalkers with the bushwacker
You can have 8 knifes instead of 4?
Knife should be able to get pick up and melee and to be honest cause bleed or at least slowdown the enemy 🙏✍️🫶
Melee kills?
Tell you a joke: Update a throwing knife
We get a knife, but we cannot use it to shank
dont take the ar on bot missions probably
This month's Warbond was garbage except for the booster.
and we thought the previous warbond was bad.
Trading out an armor set and two weapons for 3 skins, one that we only see for like 15 seconds for a whole match, 1 that we can hardly ever see since its buried in the ground, and the last one definitely not going to see because Ive only seen a handful of players actually bring in the mechs, also that pointless player title, i rather use the ones from level ups since those show off dedication rather than saying that I spent 10 dollars to call myself a viper commando
Love the bushwhacker so far but the rest are just meh
throwing knife is ass bruh, cant even one shot hunter
look like decent guns, disapointed we only got 2...
Other warbonds had 4 guns, grenade, and booster
Less content, same price
so as expected, the knife is cool, but useless
knife is total SHIT
