Weapon:Knife

Content

Damage

• Frontstab: 32 damage (normal health and armour distribution)
• Backstab: 108 damage (ignores armour)

Rate of Fire

• x stabs per second.

Special

• Backstabs with the knife ignore armour when calculating damage. Backstabs are a one-hit instant kill.
• Backstabs kills are silent.

Context Sensitive Animation

• Slashing at an enemy whose back is not exposed, or attacking anything that does not qualify as a backstab (fresh air, hitting walls, sentries etc) results in the generic wild slashing animation being played. The slash is simply a flailing, cutting motion.
• Being in position for a backstab when attacking results in the stab animation being played. The stab is a fast thrust.
• The only difference between the two modes of operation is the animation. The result and damage is the same. See the discussion tab for a potential further extension on this behaviour.
