Anyone know if weapon upgrades include the knife?

Shockeh · April 2003

Good point actually.

I'd say probably yes, as I can't see them bothering to remove it, and just make it a global upgrade across all marine damage amounts. Quite worrying really, because how much damage would a level 3 knife do?

Where's Kitsune when we want him?

NSCypher · April 2003

lvl 3 weapons isn't a global damage upgrade though - they only added in mines and grenades to the list of weapons that are affected by upgrades in this version. AFAIK the knife has never been upgradeable, but it would be nice if someone proved me wrong...

/goes off to think about 20-damage knife stabs doing 60% extra at lvl 3... heeheehee pwned by teh knife

Then I think you'll love the new Knifle. Knife Rifle, that is. Oh, it makes for some pretty intense games! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

Knife Rifle? cool! (no I didnt actually believe that...)
Might try making one in real life tho, would be a change on the air rifle theme...

SecretFire · April 2003

Even if it was effected by weapon upgrades, it would only go from 30 damage to 39...not really a huge difference.

Are they adding any new weapons? Like maybe a new pistol that can be dropped?

I don't think so. Maybe a flamethrower in the future, but certainly not in the next version.

And you *can* drop your pistol (I got your point <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>)

Wouldn't it be called a Knifrle?

wouldnt that be an extra 30% Damage, im pretty sure the upgrades are cumulative, i know the armor ones arnt

MeLeNkO · April 2003

sry i find the knife ok but not for attack lol i attack aleins n they never die wirt the knife" *sharpens the knife for the alein*

SilentSam · April 2003

Omg, screw the knife - DOES THE WELDER GET IT?

Because there is seriously nothing funnyer then welding up the abse when some skulk drops by and heads right for you - and all you do then is duck and wait for them to walk into your welder. More often then not its instagiv - ehehe. But with UPGRADED WELDER omg, hive welding would get a new meaning!

MeLeNkO · April 2003

if i ran out of LMG ammo n all i got is a welder i attack them wit the welder

Big enough to make the difference between 3 or 2 hits to kill a skulk.

Eidolan · April 2003

lol maybe a upgraded knife would be a mono-knife, give it a semi-clear skin and have it do the extra damage.

JediYoshi · April 2003

There needs to be added to the knife:

grenade launcher

sight

scope

extra knife

small firearm

Xzilen · April 2003

Eh, I don't know about this idea, I think its quite powerful already, but then again, if you get weapons 3, its late enough that you'll need that extra damage

Alien_Bob · April 2003

Laser knife, please.

Definitely. While your at it, don't forget the built-in jet pack, flame thrower, samauri sword, kitchen sink, and extra knife (in case you drop the first one).

G-ZeuZ · April 2003

I'm still waiting for the double light-saber

Narfwak · April 2003

The knife needs an optional bayonet.

Beast · April 2003

How about a gun that shoots knifes?
Or a serious suggestion, how about making the knife throwable <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Wow, this thread degenerated into idiocy rather quickly. On a side note, to answer the original question ->
The knife is unaffected by weapon upgrades, and the welder is similarly unaffected.

This can be easily tested, just go into a LAN game with a friend and see how much one knife slash does to a skulk with and without upgrades. Full upgrades does nothing to improve the effectiveness of a knife slash.
