    Strategic Analysis: Throwing Knife

    In the current meta, the Throwing Knife occupies a niche position. Its moderate time-to-kill of 4.500s at close range makes it viable in most combat scenarios. The weapon requires 4 shots to eliminate a full-health target at close range, 4 at medium range, and 5 at long range. With 40 rounds per minute and a 30-round magazine, the Throwing Knife can secure kills within a single magazine. Its headshot multiplier of 2x means skilled players can reduce TTK to 1.500s with consistent headshots. Range performance sees damage drop to 90% at medium range and 75% at long range. Players should prefer close-to-medium range encounters.
