[@hunterhexin7587]

I normally run sword and throwing knife for many reasons but 1 is to counter the 2 people in the world that also use dagger. I was doing a fof steal the other day and I switched to blunderbus and dagger to better deal with the large number of players involved (2 man sloop and a brige) but it came back to bite me because the last player out of the 5 I had to kill at new golden sands to sell the chest of fortune used throwing knife’s and I was out of heals and couldn’t block the attack so I died right outside sovereign’s with the chest. I’m so mad at myself for switching loadouts even though the blundy was very useful

Shhhh Phuzzy I'm trying to keep how good the knives are a secret!

[@IiIbub]

agreed, daggers are insane right now, even in hourglass we pop off with them constantly

[@Balloon-t5x]

You can block daggers with swords but not that many people use swords in hourglass or know that so it’s fine. Good to know to defend yourself.

[@christianrios6295]

But no movement😩

[@monopoly5496]

They are absolutely not. Even now that doublegunning is nerfed to insanity, I could 2 tap someone easier and probably quicker. It is just a lot more reliable and you don't have as much bullet drop. And even only using the pistol with animation cancelling it should be better than the throwing knife. And for close range obviously the cutlass is now better than ever. I still stick to blunder+Eor. or pistol+Eor. for tdms. Unfortunately there are no tdms anymore and most of the actually good players from back then quit or were falsely banned.

[@chazzerine7650]

I think knives are in no need of nerfs despite them being OP on paper. Sure, they have insane TTK, but the amount of skill they require over something like the sniper rifle offsets that immensely.
If anything, I'd touch up their ability to duke it out in melee.

[@jeremyhubaker1199]

thats the thing you can completely miss and still get a hit. dont get me wrong i love the knives but sometimes i just miss completely and stillend up getting a hit the hit box needs work the damge is fine

[@WeebsArePathetic]

I still think it needs a buff in terms of 100-0 backstab

the hitbox is crazy tho

Golden skeletons are my biggest nightmare

i really dont like them in general. i can deal with every other skeleton type but golden skellies feel a lil too obnoxious, especially if you're on a big island and towards the center away from water

@@zacharyjackson1829 I mean I understand gold Skelly's being weak to bullets and plant being weak to swords but the thing is plant Skelly's can still die the bullets but golden can't die the swords

the hitboxes are insane with the knives

Neat trick: when you're being hit by a sword, you can actually throw a dagger in between the sword swipes, just hold down right click to keep the dagger wound up and then left click after a sword swipe.

[@benjaminfreitag9231]

Once I noticed you can't out eat the speed of hitting two daggers unless preemtively, I realized they're closer to being as strong as blunder sniper. Its good in its own way since unlike sniper blunder, if u miss one you have 4 more with no reload.

That's the kind of video you expect to see on this channel. While everyone is on the buffed double barrel right now, phuzzy is out here making the double sword meta a thing. Some of your hits in this video were absolutely nutty!

[@jaydeeao]

I lost it when Phuzzy said he was protecting the ship with his bucket......haha

[@melon9933]

finally people realize the true potential, it's basically a fast reload sniper rifle at the cost of lower range and needing to know how to shoot projectiles.

[@hegemon3]

You forgot extremely limited movement and no hipfire/quickscope, which in combination kicks it out off the meta completely. If you use it against good opponent, you're basically dead.

[@WeebsArePathetic]

​​@@hegemon3yea but unless you're in high MMR it's viable. People forget how important sniper is when it comes to putting pressure on cannon, but let's be real most phuzzy fans aren't tryhards and play casually.

[@undeddjester]

I'm a total newb, just started playing on PS5. It's great to see some knife support... I chose to play the knives as a staple of all builds because I really just liked them, and I didn't care if people said they were weak.I keep doing quite well with them, they're like an easier to use fast sniper rifle... but I figured there is just something I don't know about as to why everyone rags on them....
Watching someone actually good at the game using them is nuts, and just inspires me more... you move so clean and fast :O

[@WeebsArePathetic]

I love phuzzy but just wait until you actually watch a pvp'r. Phuzzy is like casual af ngl which isn't a bad thing.

[@casualslothtv]

This was the only motivation I needed to keep holding onto my throwing knives.

[@GameMasterDude230]

The dagger does look OP lol. But I also imagine that your learning curve to get used to a new weapon is fast. I’d be practicing for months lol. Super fun video as always I love the science

[@SzesciennaGeometria]

daggers are scary becouse you dont hear when 1st one hits you, and by the time when you notice healthbar-drop 2nd one is allredy on its way :P

[@JokerP5]

Someone screamed at my friend for using throwing knifes

[@milanodeschnitzel7495]

The daggers are really good. 60 damage with fast throwing is insane in the right hands. But personally nothing beats the flinlock sword

[@Indioh]

The meta weapons beat it tho

[@donthefreeman]

Love the throwing knives, it makes my heart race when I board someone and they start making me dodge the daggers 👑

[@peuward_]

Each knife throw is 65. Even better as that makes the total after 5 throws 325 damage instead of 300

[@christopherfulkerson1480]

I save the scatter balls for when you are real close for maximum damage I’m usually able to get off all 5 shots

[@PrincessofErised]

I have never had success guarding ladders with a blunderbuss. I shoot, hit nothing, and they board as I am reloading and they kill me. Until that glorious day the throwing knives came. They are silent and deadly. I had a guy on the ladder and I bam bam with the knives and he died falling off the ladder. How? He never heard the shot he was waiting for to board. It was 2 sword lunges worth of damage and he never knew what hit him. It was like the angels started singing. lol

[@WeebsArePathetic]

Tell me you're bad without telling me you're bad. Sorry but I had to with this one. Wish you the best.
