Should throwing knife instant kill if to the head?
I deleted the body so I will do it again... Facepalm.
Ok so who thinks that throwing knife should be a full 200 damage if it is a headshot. I know with gamblers dagger and knife juggler it would be quite op, but what's the difference between snipers! But like cmon it a [b][i][u]FREAKING KNIFE[/u][/i][/b]
[Edit1]: For the people who are saying "It's a helmet what's a knife gonna do". Let's just say it's a really sharp knife.

[Edit3] Wow! Nearly 100 replies?! I didn't think it would be this much of a topic to talk about!
[Edit4] What if the burn was increased and had a 60% percent chance of triggering?

Only from long range, it has to reach the vertex of its arc first
-
Wait.. Isn't it already a kill when you hit the head with it?
-
Hitting the head is way too easy on a throwing knife to warrant a one shot kill. Also remeber in the end it is a melee
-
Gambler's Dagger/Knife Juggler would be overpowered with instakill knife headshots. "but like cmon it a freakin knife" is not a proper excuse for this.

2 RepliesThat would literally be the most unbalenced thing in the world. When I play on my Hunter I am a god with throwing knifes. Make them one shot headshot? That would be worse than SunBreakers
-
One hc shot and a throw does the job.
-
Hell no i can land the headshot every time i would never die with the knife return perk
-
Yes if they lower the aim assist just a tad.

5 RepliesYou do realize a bullet to the head isn't even an instant kill? Not sure how you can justify a knife
-
I say yes [i]IF[/i], it has the DoT effect active

I'm a warlock and I suductively approve this message.

Normally i would say hell no, however looking through the comments i agree on a few things. a throwing knife to the head with the burn perk should kill, and a throwing knife while in golden gun should kill, but only if you have that perk that extends GG time with a throwing knife kill.
-
5 RepliesAt least give me the kill when I headshot and have the burn on it.
-
Or it could be a perk on the gunslinger that gives it increased precision damage. It could be on the same tree with the recharges a knife on a precision kill. That way, you either choose an instant kill, or an instant recharge. Or just replace the instant recharge perk with the increased precision damage. Good way of balancing it.

I don't like your face and as a result my knife will go through it.

5 RepliesShoulder charge does and it requires literally no skill to use, throwing knife head shot is difficult to pull off.
-
4 Repliesall day, it's not easy to pull off and it's a charged attack. for sure a 1 shot kill
-
It should only one shot with the burn perk on, that doesn't return a knife since the knife didn't get the kill, the burn did, and you could only have one knife.
-
Throwing knife aim assistance makes headshots a breeze, it would be thorn breaking
-
Throwing knifes aren't that hard to use and could be easily abused by knife juggler gamblers dagger. I think they're fine as they are now

Conclusion: Hunters strike again... [spoiler]Hunters want ANOTHER one hit melee, with even MORE range, AND can regenerate the ability upon the precision kill, AND can carry two charges without an exotic, but don't want any other class to have it.[/spoiler]

3 RepliesI mainly use Gunslinger. And it's the only hunter subclass I use in pvp. I vote [b]no[/b]; that would be wayyyyyyy too good. It's already easy enough to pop a shot/burst in someone and follow it up with a quick knife headshot for a kill. If they made it 200 damage, the Gunslinger subclass would outshine every other subclass. As much fun as that would be for me personally, I'm more in favor of a balanced game. I can't believe this poll is so much on favor of it. I guess most people don't understand or appreciate balance.

2 RepliesNah, throwinf knifes literally magnitize to peoples faces. They have most a.a. than snipers i swear lol dont get my wrong i love them and you have to be skilled and thinking about them to use them but if you're aiming generally at head level you'll get the head shot.

5 RepliesEdited by Elitespear: 11/18/2015 6:24:05 PMIf I shoot someone in the head with a high impact handcannon in this game they don't die. So why on gods earth should a throwing knife? Come on it's a freakin knife?? Come on its a freaking bullet! From a freaking hand CANNON. There's your argument gone.
