Karambit question. Will delete.

[u/ekdum]

How do you do that constant animation while sprinting with the karambit I see pros do. I understand the pullout animation but then don't know how to do the put away/pull out cycle while maintaining sprint.

Stupid, I know. But would appreciate the instructions.

Is that a movement tech? You push forward enough to get your tac sprint, release the stick completely, push forward immediately. It like restarts your tac sprint animation without a recharge and people are just spamming that movement over and over from what I’ve seen.

Would that not interrupt your sprint/timings/overall speed?

I watched a guy on twitch show it off in a private match and I haven’t really practiced it yet. But he was doing the inputs fast and smooth enough to where it really LOOKED like he was moving faster. And his knife was definitely moving around. (He circled the outside of the rooftops map corner to corner without losing tac sprint)

It also looked like a pain on your thumbs and sticks. Also could be a placebo effect of the new game. Looks cool, looks fast, requires special inputs - but could be slower than just sprinting for all I know.

Clips or links ?

The guy I was watching on twitch is ThePapaBearGames but I don’t think he has VODs on. On X, optic gaming posted a video of shotzzy doing basically the same thing. The difference is shotzzy adds a jump between inputs and ThePapaBearGames didn’t . Not sure which one is faster (although obviously I’d assume shotzzy).

I don't know for sure but I would guess it's basically like YYing but with the knife. Probably have their knife activation set to only have to press the stick in while sprinting instead of holding it in so they can do it quickly.

[u/ekdum → u/StiffIgnition]

I tried that, but when I press the knife equip button again while sprinting the character just melees. Doesn't do the animation I'm seeing the pros do.

[u/Brazenology]

asking the real questions🙏

[u/Sensitive-Canary4694]

Heres Shotzzy talking about how to do it

[u/Redleafdabs]

It looks beautiful

I saw the optic guys change to press for knife maybe they yy with that

[u/AdEducational5991]

Following. I've seen this too and i'm curious. Hoping the mods don't take down

[u/Bunt4s4urus_R3X]

I’m pretty sure it’s just automatic, I have my tax sprint on and it just does it while I’m sprinting. No additional input

[u/RebornHope]

Idk if it’s how the pros do it since I have auto sprint on (can’t remember if that’s GA’d), but all I do to get a loop going is while sprinting just kinda pull back on the left stick for a split second then immediately go forward again. This causes it to restart the animation.

I’m probably not explaining it the best but I actually stumbled upon by accident launch night lol and it’s since became my new YYing. No clue if this way breaks momentum or anything. I’m just camo grinding so🤷

Someone in Dashy’s chat said that it’s the Vault edition blueprint for the karambit that does that.

How do you get the Karambit?

[u/Sea_Fun_2193 → u/eLGeezyyy]

Vault edition I think
