Knife

The Knife is a melee weapon

It is a Traitor-exclusive weapon, with a special perk of silently killing victims, similiar to a headshot. Unlike the Silenced Pistol, however, the knife leaves a lot of DNA on the body, and you must be very close to the victim.

Overview
The Knife is a melee weapon used to silently kill lonesome victims.

The Knife can quietly kill in two slashes, unless the victim is below 60 health, in which it can kill in one.

Its major disadvantages are its slow firing speed, and your player's stance giving you away very easily.

Miscellaneous

 * This weapon is guaranteed a kill if the victim has 60 health or below. However, it still does 50 damage.
 * A bug in the weapon's code prevents the successful slash animation from playing. To fix, replace ACT_VM_HITCENTER to ACT_VM_PRIMARYATTACK for a slash or ACT_VM_SECONDARYATTACK for a stab.

History

 * Before TTT v19, the thrown knife would always need two hits to kill. It was changed so that distance thrown increases damage.
 * Before TTT v15, the knife was a one-hit kill weapon. It was changed to two hits and the range was increased.
 * Before TTT v3, you could catch a thrown knife.
 * In TTT v010710, knife in-corpse effects were improved to fix most floaty-knife problems and proper removal when corpse was destroyed.
 * In TTT v240410, knife damage was quadrupled to make sure it always kills in one hit.
 * In TTT v220110, awards were added for knife kills by an innocent.
