The Throwing Knife is a weapon very similar to the Hunting knife except Bond holds it upside down and throws it, rather than slashing. Damage-wise, although the stats suggest identical power, a thrown knife is not always the same as the Hunting Knife as it can hit limbs which reduce damage and armored enemies shrug it off. Since it is thrown, the knife has a much longer range than its slashing counterpart, but it takes skill to use one successfully, since the knife flies in an arc. Generally Bond needs to aim differently on his target in order to hit them at the appropriate distance, and may never be the same height, similar to usage of the Grenade Launcher, similar weapons and gadgets. Thrown knives on the floor can be picked up.
This weapon is only available in Bunker 2. However, they have their own cheat and this weapon even has its own multiplayer weapon set.
Because of its different technique and the way it is acquired in Bunker 2, its usage is often overlooked in ease of picking up the guard's KF7.
Trivia[]
- These knives may have been based on the ones used by the characters Mischka and Grischka (Two men, henchmen of villain Kamal Khan) in the 1983 James Bond film Octopussy, but this is not the only inspiration; Throwing knives are present in several other Bond films.
- Once the fire button is pressed, Bond can hold the knife until this button is released, at which point, it will be thrown at the enemy in full force. Throwing Knives are considered hard to use, and as explained earlier, may not be similar as other thrown weapons. The way this weapon acquired is usually overlooked, considering the fact that the enemy guard will drop his KF7 Soviet once he is defeated while Unarmed. His weapon can then be used on the enemies, and they may drop additional ammunition for it, as well. Bond can still use this weapon, before he recovers his Silenced PP7.
