Bootknife 2 Electric Bootaloo

[Eenkogneeto]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Allow us to put throwing knives in our boots, exactly the same as a bayonet currently can be.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): I want to be more edgy, Short of adding a unique action to toss a throwing knife in the air and catch it, this is the next best way.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Exactly the same as you can currently put a knife in your boot, you could now put a throwing knife. Amaze your friends with party tricks, throw a knife at a crusher, realize you just threw your only weapon away, the possibilities are unlimited!

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Copy paste the code from bayonet including sprite and replace /bayonet with /throwingknife

+1
No balance issues I see.

[Joe4444]

don't see why you'd want to do this considering the usefulness of throwing knives but I don't see why not +1

[McRipfist]

+1 for disabling the enemy's hand.

Why not throw a bayonet?

[MrJJJ]

Why not throw a bayonet?

It doesn't have the same throw force...

[Tristan63]

It doesn't have the same throw force...

Does it do more damage?

[Eenkogneeto]

Does it do more damage?

In completely random number terms
Bayonet: 30 Melee 15 Thrown
Throwing: 30 throw 15 Melee
...essentially anyway.
But that's not the point of the thread, I want to put a throwing knife in my boot, not talk about whether or not its a /good/ idea

[KingKire]

well, the throwing knife is just a better bayonet ( goes two spaces farther when thrown, i think same damage) so people would just use the throwing knife in their boots.

[Renomaki]

I never understood why you couldn't fit a throwing knife in there, considering they aren't too different.

Should totally be a thing.

[Desolane900]

+1 because EDGE and TK is godly for when someone pisses you off. Next we need a TK rig that clips to the uniform.

I wanna be the edgy machete wielding, knife throwing medic. Support edge today!

[Nightwolf901]

A.. A what? A Fixed Bayonet? No Ew get that shit out of my office now! I will ONLY place this trusty throwing knife into my boot! +1

I'd be able to carry one more throwing knife when i got B18 with Belt of Throwing Knifes Webbing of TKs, Armor of TKs Backpack of TKs Pocket of TKs and a riot shield and machete.

Like 2-3 months without a post so I'll make it visible again for discussion.

Its a good idea but right now, boot knives have been pretty worthless since .click capability was scaled back. It would great if we had this and possible a verb for bootknives *hint* *hint*

but overall +1 throwing knives need love too

[Karmac]

Bruh, are you dissing bootknives? The bootknife, has never let me down in my time of need, it's continually proved to me that it is the superior melee weapon and that it can be used in any circumstance to full effect with a creative mind. Where the marine fails, the bootknife succeeds.

[TheMaskedMan2]

Add throwing machete's and you have a deal.
