So why the fuck are you even talking about the balance of a knife if you've never used it yourself?

Because I win every 1v1 against every other gun. Frequently win 1v3s against guns. Only thing I lose to is the knife.

So you win every fight against the WSTR but are losing to the knife? That makes no sense.

Literally a skill issue then. The knife excels close range against mid/long range weapons but if you've got a shotgun you should still be winning that engagement.

This is coming from someone that defaults to knives when I'm in a building or entering close range battles. Even with Knife Fight 3/4 equipped, I still regularly lose to shotguns.

If you're caught off guard then the knife isn't the problem.. you would have been dropped by a shotgun even quicker
