Let's talk about the Hunter throwing knives.

I would like to have a calm, civilized conversation about the Hunter throwing knives. I believe that the headshot damage, not the base damage by any means, should be increased. My reasoning is... Titans have a one shot melee, the shoulder charge, and I have also seen titans regenerate health upon dealing melee damage. Warlocks have an ability that allows them to receive an extra overshield upon landing a melee hit. Hunters, Gunslinger in particular, have no way to land a melee and immediately kill someone apart from using there exotic slot and having to be invisible AND behind the enemy. I use Gunslinger, and I can land a headshot with the knife AND have the burn ability active, and not receive a kill. I believe that that should be rewarded with a kill, especially with a burn. Even if a basic throwing knife (without the burn) would not make a 1 shot, a precision shot AND the burn affect should. Edit: Due to a common misunderstanding, I am implying that the burn should kill the person. I don't believe a basic knife should be able to kill a player with one shot. The incendiary knife perk would have to be active in able to get the kill. Edit: Due to a common statement, which I do believe to be true, I think that of this was applied, the hit box for the head should also become smaller. I will agree, I have made a few knife shots that I thought were going to miss completely. Edit: Let's go guys! 100 replies! Keep posting that input! I'm loving your guy's opinions on the matter. Edit: 200 replies! Keep them coming! Edit: 500 replies! Keep commenting! Please vote and leave your opinion below on whether you think this should be changed or not. I would like to keep this calm and without all the fighting and arguing. I'm not crying for it to be buffed, but it should be considered given the abilities of the other classes. Edit: Just to make this clear, you would have to use the incendiary knife perk. I don't know how many times I have to say this. That perk takes the place of the precision reset perk, so you could not run around constantly making knife kills. Please understand this. I'm getting tired of explaining this to each person.

  • I have mixed feelings on this due to the one advantage the knife has that the other melees don't have in comparison range I have seen cross map cod level knife throws that just don't kill on spawn but are followed with the most annoying grenade tosses while most will argue that the warlock does have extreme range for the melee it still has a cap, properly aimed a knife has no range limit, while we titans and warlocks have instant kill melees we must be close to medium range(warlocks) or close to hug range(titan) for us to use these giving the hunter a one hit kill with an almost unlimited range wouldn't be fair to the other sub-classes because then your one hit kill is suddenly more powerful then ours, but before you say we still have the one hit kill "what do we hunters have" I say this, you have range, the extreme range of those throwing knives, it truly is balanced because though we may trump you in close quarters(sometimes, those blink strikes still get us) we lose out with those knifes you throw at us, their dangerous and fly very far I believe its balanced as is and yes I have all classes before you ask

    • I don't and never have played PvP but since discovering the Monte Carlo I went from exclusively running blade dancer to only running it in Crota. The most fun I've had in this game is a gunslinger Hunter with 2 throwing knives almost all the time.

    • As much as it is annoying the fact it is such a ranged weapon I think no. We can knife then shot before they get even close or variations of it.

    • Yeah, throwing knifes seriously suck in PVP, they definitely need a buff.

      • Bruh you have to choose the shoulder charge as a setting and if you don't have the right helm you sacrifice other things. While you will have a stabbing melee and a throwing knife. Chill and they upgraded gunslinger super so that it kills rams forsure with 1 shot. So stfu all is good.

      • It should be in increased (to 200) but if bungie increases it then they should also lower the aim assist because i always seem to be getting headshots with it

        The only problem that I have with this post is that Titans can't regenerate health just by dealing melee damage :p

        • Anyone who plays gunslinger enough knows how massive the hitbox for the head is and how easy it is to hit. Just tag them a little bit with any gun and you should be good to go.

        • Gunslingers have nothing yes but hungering blade exists so that point on other classes is void

        • Throwing knife has crazy distance and aim assist so no. You can already get pretty damn close

        • You are missing a couple of points here. First of all, Hunters have the lowest base armor stat, and the highest agility stat. They are not meant to be used in face-to-face, close-quarters situations, they are meant to use their abilities to stay out of reach of opponents. That is why they have blink strike, to move in quickly to finish a weakened opponent, and throwing knife, to finish a weakened opponent from a distance. This is the same reason Titans do not have the blink ability, it does not fit the way they are meant to be used. Second, the throwing knife is a ranged projectile. Many times I have killed Warlocks and Titans with a few precision shots followed by a throwing-knife to the head, before they can get close enough to use their own melee. Being able to one-hit-kill an opponent at ranges far beyond where they can reach you would be unfair. It's all about playing to the strengths of your class.

            • Well bladedancers have a 1 shot with back stab... So that means both hunter and Titan have a one shot and warlock gets a shield. Seems fine to me

                • You can't compare an ability (shoulder charge) to a special melee (throwing knives).

                • *shoulder charge isn't a melee, so it's not comparable to throwing knives *flame shield is not a melee either, it's a melee upgrade The only things you compared it to don't make sense.
