Why does shoulder charge count as melee kill, but throwing knife does not?
Edit: Thread name changed due to community retardation (not all, obviously, some put up an amazing argument, and have ultimately answered my original question)
The throwing knife gets a buff when brawler is active, which is a melee boost. But for example, during the Iron Banner and crucible bounties, shoulder charge counts as a melee kill, but throwing knives do not.
I know its a 'ranged weapon' but still sits in the melee slot. And it still considered the hunter's melee ability, just like the titan and warlock have flame punch, energy drain melee, etc

Knife bounces off armour. Shoulder charge gives you a crushed skull

The knife can be used much quicker than a shoulder charge so for balance sake, no it can't.

I agree, also any shot from any weapon to the face should kill cause that makes sense too by this logic, since it's even worse than a knife. And if you get shot in the body you should have to lie down for a while until a surgeon can remove the bullet, give you a blood transfusion and haul you off to a recovery ward. Just six short weeks later your guardian is good to go again! Would be a super fun and realistic way to play the game. [spoiler]It's called balance bud.[/spoiler]

5 RepliesIf I can survive multiple blast from Minotaur or Boomer cannons, a knife to my helmet is the least of my worries. Shoulder charge requires momentum and creates a thunderous sound. I don't think shoulder charge should ohko, but I don't care either way. As long as Titans shoulder charge, I'll keep using a shotgun.

1 ReplySo if we are going to be unfair about our shit, why do Hunters get to throw 2 things while Titans and Warlocks only get grenades? That is so unfair! (hope you can pick up I am being sarcastic)

Helmets have rigid Dr. Knives dont easily penetrate rigid Dr. Its because we're wearing fcki NG helmets
-
Destiny logic is having no logic.

I think its because throwing knife doesnt require you to get up close and cop a shotgun in the chest while throwing it but i think it should be a kill.. normally it does kill for me anyway as ive been shooting a player then throwing knife them as well.

5 RepliesI understand where you're coming from, but if you could kill anyone with simply one knife throw to the head it would be a bit op, especially when synergised with the perk that gives you back a knife with a precision kill. Shoulder charge takes a lil prep and dissipates after mmmmmm... 5 seconds I think.

1 ReplyI agree it should flat-out annihilate anyone it hits in the head. I'm serious, it doesn't make any sense. I feel bad for Hunters who hit me in the head with it and I just stand there. I will salute them and allow them to kill me as they rightfully should have.

It can if you light it on fire.

17 RepliesI main a titan and a hunter, I like them equally. My biggest pet peeve is not killing someone with my shoulder charge when they are using the ram it seems so dumb to me. It completely makes PvP unbalanced because shoulder charge is the striker titans signature move. The ram makes it obsolete which is so frustrating. However I think a throwing knife to the face should definitely kill someone because with all the people blinking around the map its honestly not that easy to achieve
-
This is a joke, right?
-
Doesn't make any sense, especially since throwing knives have a pretty long cool down, but shoulder charge has zero cools down.

We are talking about throwing knifes? Talk about the perk Circle of life. Killing an enemy with throwing knife while golden guns is active extends the duration. But not only is the extended duration 1/15th of you super bar, it is also impossible to kill a person with a throwing knife unless they are damaged or have weak armor stats, not to mention you have to do all of that in the 5seconds you have golden gun activated...Please fix this perk. As far as throwing knifes go, just shoot the enemy once and throw your knife. Use the perk that gives you reset on precision kills and 2 throwing knifes, and you wont need to complain about them.
