#Strider knives axe update

All cosmetic knives in Global Offensive are rare special (★) items except the Gold Knife which is available as the final weapon in Arms Race, the Spectral Shiv available in Casual during the Halloween update on October 23, 2018, & the duplicated Karambit created by Steam Support with no float. In Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, multiple cosmetic knives are available in the game as alternative options to the stock knife, first added in the Arms Deal update. Bots set on higher difficulty will equip the knife first until they encounter the enemy.

Moreover, players cannot perform an instant kill with a back-stab.īots will only use the knife if all firearms and equipment have been restricted, their weapons have run out of ammo, at the beginning of a round for rushing purposes, or they are attempting to leave a Bombsite before the C4 Explosive explodes. When armed with the Tactical Shield, users can only inflict small amounts of damage and suffer a low rate of fire. Moreover in Deathmatch, eliminating an opponent with the knife awards the highest amount of points (20 points), and a bonus is offered at +10 points. In Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, this weapon offers the most amount of money as a reward for eliminating an opponent ($1500 in competitive mode and $750 in casual mode). In earlier games, some other weapons and grenades allow the same movement speed, and the Schmidt Scout increases the players' speed, but these attributes were removed in Global Offensive, leaving the knife with the top running speed. In all games, players are able to run at the default speed when the knife is active, which is measured at 250 hammer units/second. In general, a secondary attack that strikes the head in earlier games or the back will result in a one-hit kill. In Source and Global Offensive, the head hitbox multiplier is removed and only the backstab multiplier is present. In Counter-Strike and Condition Zero, the knife is affected by the head hitbox in addition to a special backstab multiplier. In Source and Global Offensive, the primary attack deals reduced damage on consecutive hits, reducing its spamming capability.ĭamage from the knife is affected by different multipliers compared to other weapons. The knife has a fast, low-damage primary attack and a slow, high-damage secondary attack. The knife is a melee weapon, and thus has a very short range and makes little sound when slashed. It cannot be purchased or dropped (without special commands). In the entire Counter-Strike series, the knife is permanently equipped in the melee weapon slot.
