Usage
The knife has no overal usage as anyone will always carry one, but its a very, very famous and highly favored weapon by almost all players for several reasons:
- First of all, in the zombie escape mod, zombies can only use a knife, thus being their only weapon. Secondly, achieving knife kills is considered professional by many players.
- It's also a very good weapon when you are face-to-face with an enemy, since hitting an enemy with the knife will usually end up in the enemy being distracted and panic, eventually shooting nowhere as a last resort and finally being killed.
- You should note that using the knife as a human against zombies will (almost) always result in you being zombified. If not, the knife provides an unusual high knockback (see note)!
- One of the most popular uses of the knife is using it as an escape tool, since it has a very low weight.
