Kunai throwing daggers offer a silent alternative to the traditional sidearm. Perfect for assassins.
The Kunai is a throwing weapon for the secondary slot, released in Update 8. It has a significant amount of DPS, but can be hard to aim with because of its arrow-like arc projection.
See the user build section for builds using this weapon.
Tips[]
Make sure to adjust your aim for moving targets.
When using at a distance, aim above the enemy to adjust for Kunai's arc.
Especially lethal when paired with Ice mods.
Using the Pistol Ammo Mutation mod can help regain lost ammo when needed.
Alternatively, bring along Team Ammo Restores.
Notes[]
The Kunai does not have the pinning properties of other projectile weapons, such as the Boltor or Paris, but will simply throw targets backwards upon death.
Bugs[]
Using Quickdraw on the Kunai can cause infinite reloading issues. (Fixed?)
As with all thrown sidearms, when performing a Jump Kick, your frame will hold the Kunai as dual pistols. Upon hitting the ground and sliding, this will quickly switch back to as it should be. (Fixed?)
When a Hobbled Dragon Key is equipped, sprinting (depending on your frame's speed) will cause the Kunai to be held incorrectly. This also applies to sliding (at slow speeds?). (Fixed?)
Trivia[]
The Kunai (苦無) was traditionally a multipurpose tool, similar in design to a crowbar or trowel. It could be used for gardening, masonry, and other things.
In popular culture, the word "Kunai" is often associated with ninjas and is depicted as a throwing knife.
