Throwing Knife is Gunslinger's melee ability. It causes your melee attack to throw a knife at the enemy. Throwing Knife will only activate if the target is outside of your melee range. Otherwise you will perform a regular melee attack. Throwing Knife is affected by gravity. As the knife travels, it will fall in a downward arc. Be sure to aim high when attempting to hit a far away enemy.
- Note that the ability goes on cooldown even if you miss your intended target.
Tips and Tricks
- Throwing Knife is the only melee ability capable of achieving critical damage. In these cases it is the highest damaging melee ability.
- Throwing Knife has massive aim assist, making headshots deceptively easy. Always aim high and the aim assist will forgive slight mistakes.
- Throwing knife might take some practice to land properly especially at medium to long range because it has an arc to its flying path.
- In PvP, you can throw the knife at enemy who charges at you intending a melee attack.
