“Close-range melee weapon.”

Overview

The Dagger is a knife available to the Light Build. Attacking with primary fire will quickly slash the Dagger, dealing a small amount of damage. Holding secondary fire and releasing will perform a stab, which will critically strike enemies that have their back turned. This critical hit deals massive damage, enough to one-shot both Light and Medium Builds. Hitting an enemy with a charged secondary fire without backstabbing them will deal the same amount of damage as the primary slash, and the primary slash cannot deal bonus damage from behind.

PROS AND CONS

The Dagger is very cunning weapon that solely relies on the wielder to stab an enemy contestant in the back. All but the heaviest class characters will die in a single hit, but with the speed and finesse of a skilled assassin, it is equally lethal regardless. The dagger's prime weakness is that its damage output when not backstabbing is notably low, making a wielder a very easy target for any enemy who has noticed their presence. The Dagger is commonly paired with the Cloaking Device specialization.

TRIVIA

• OMINOUS OSTHYVEL
  • "A couple of weeks before the Closed Beta I was visiting an old friend. During dinner he told me a story about how dangerous a simple “osthyvel” (a traditional Swedish cheese slicer) can actually be… It was a hilarious story and I sent a text to Theodor (artist) and Oskar (animator) to suggest that it could be a weapon. Just two days later it was in the game.! For authenticity, they also scanned a chunk of cheese and then added the amazing slice taunt. The cheese is a Swedish traditional Prästost, you should try it when you visit Sweden, hehe." - Rob Runesson in an interview with RockhoundBlack, March 2023
