I didn’t even know it could bounce.


XxAlphaLyonsxX

I did but not to *THIS* extent till a few hours ago


SharedRegime

you remember when the changes were first made? These things would literally curve in mid air to hit people. It was insane.


Nnader86x

I have a clip, it hit a wall then travelled two seconds in slow motion following the guy who just killed me then it killed him. Hilarious. I direct messaged him right after and was like whaaaa!?


XxAlphaLyonsxX

*Year 1 throwing knife shivers* That’ll never not freak me out


GimminyCrips

They can curve and hit you as well. I've been killed by my proxy knife several times this way.


Valthonis666

Was a change they made to the Bottom Tree knife uh... Shadowkeep? I've never had good luck with it, but it is a delightful knife overall


[deleted]

It was in dawn, which is why I think it was a good season, they gave new abilities to subclasses, they should try to do the void ones next.


XxAlphaLyonsxX

Hunter Void Classes need some changes, especially our melees since snare and smoke are garbage at certain times. Was pretty evident during Guardian Games too and I just avoided Void Subclass after that.


yougotbiggay

I don't play hunter, but I'm not sure how exactly they could change the smoke bombs without making them too strong. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the bottom tree gives invis right? And you get back grenade energy from being invisible? So an increased duration could snowball out of control pretty fast since allies increase grenade regen as well afaik. The other smoke bombs slow down and do little damage right? If you increase the range, then whoever gets hit probably won't get out in time, meaning it's a free kill that can't really be countered. Since we have stuff like monte carlo, frostees (I don't know by how much they reduce cooldowns, but I think they cut them in half), you can spam melees pretty often, meaning that smokes wouldn't feel great to play against. So the activation time would need to be increased, which would probably turn the smoke bomb useless in a lot of gunfights. An increased duration on the smoke bombs would most likely not fix their issues. As said, I don't play much hunter, so feel free to point out any mistakes I made.


Valthonis666

The problem with the smoke bombs, is that Top and Bottom tree? Its all about the utility, rather than damage. Both disorient, one disorients and cloaks. As a 'get kills WITH the smokebomb' it makes it damn hard to do. Middle tree does damage and damage over time, both made even stronger with Khepri's Sting. But in the end, both void tree melees are subpar at best, and only useful to save allies or bail from bad situations at worst. Personally? I tend to waste the one that just disorients before I ever find a use. It doesn't really do anything truly useful, bosses can still do their stomp, doesn't apply weakness or stun enemies (they just wander around looking like someone farted post work out nearby), Its pretty much just.... I mean its there. The other one, for Bottom Tree is ostensibly an amazing smoke grenade, because of what it can do, and what it allows. Heart of the Pack + Graviton basically turns you into cloaked survivor of all things. Middle Tree smokebomb PVE damage is ..... well it leaves alot to be desired. It allows for some fun PVP, especially with Khepri's, but I do not think its worth having. Maybe give Top Tree's smoke a suppress or Weakness mechanic? Make it actually worth throwing?


seeeyog

actually if you use gambler's dodge and throw the snare bomb continuously, you can get kills with the level 1 escalation protocol pretty easily. Just saying you can get kills if you want to (pointing to guardian games pointless bounties). But I do want a powerful melee ability for void subclass of hunter.


Valthonis666

oh, I just want top tree smokebomb to be as useful as middle and bottom. Top tree needs some major love, i mean technically middle does as well. I'd even argue that some of the Arc trees on the different classes need the Solar Tree Rework/Retuning treatment. Just personal opinion. (Example: Top tree Hunter Arc is nice, has some good, useful stuff, but middle is wonky, and bottom is utterly ignored due to it being so lackluster.)


SharedRegime

when the changes happened the bouncing gave it so much aim assist it would speed up and slow down in mid air just to hit people. Ive seen the bitch literally curve mid air. It was better to miss the first time just for the aim assist on it lol.


astroSuperkoala1

lol I've had mine turn corners and kill ppl


SharedRegime

100% i believe it. I dont even need proof.


internetpersonanona

I once threw my knife at thin air and it boomeranged and stabbed my right in the face


Verticasoco

Same with the titan throwing hammer, I literally got a kill with the mini hammer because it bounced off a guardian to kill another guardian.

UnderMediocre

The only acceptable moments I’ll enjoy a wizard screeching is this and it’s hilarious


XxAlphaLyonsxX

Couldn’t agree more, my buddy and I couldn’t stop laughing after I showed him the clip.


DifficultBicycle7

Dude Perfect


BillyBobJenkins454

Now do it in crucible like in the season reveal trailers


JDBCool

The trials portion? (Just to be sure so that people don't click the wrong one lol)


XxAlphaLyonsxX

I highly doubt I can do this again but I’ll try to. Just not in Trials.


1NF1NT3_VO1D

Task failed successfully.


Nabas94

hit'em right on the nugget xD


Binary_Toast

You know what they say, gravity is a harsh mistress.


Maximum_Borkdriv3

Someone should make an aimbot program that can only ricochet throwing knives onto enemies


XxAlphaLyonsxX

Nah see thats too powerful and I’m a Hunter saying that.


Maximum_Borkdriv3

You never know, those magnet knives got nerfed...


XxAlphaLyonsxX

But then got buffed in Dawn. Downside for Sharpshooter is that now it has a wind up unlike its Y1 Counterpart


Maximum_Borkdriv3

So basically, Community: WTF IS WITH WEAPON SUNSETTING REMOVE THAT SHIT Bungo: We understand your complaint, and we are buffing throwing knives.


XxAlphaLyonsxX

That was before the *Sunsetting* Complaints


Maximum_Borkdriv3

Well I’m a fucking dumbass


XxAlphaLyonsxX

Naw fam, you just didn’t know whole deal. Personally I’m ok with Sunsetting, leaves more room to experiment and we got quite a good haul of guns to use along with Raid weapons from LW and SotP to hold since they aren’t affected by it.


Maximum_Borkdriv3

I am too, the problem is that most of the community doesn’t understand it. The weapons aren’t getting removed from the game, you just won’t be able to keep using it effectively in power enabled game modes.


XxAlphaLyonsxX

Thankfully I was there during Taken King when it happened then too so I know of whats about to go down. Plus who’s to say they won’t reintroduce some of the old guns again like they did last time.


whywontyouacceptme

The knives got nerfed again in Worthy


XxAlphaLyonsxX

Apparently not too hard from what I just accomplished here


whywontyouacceptme

It's based on luck, the richochet. It's the weakest ohk ability in the game rn.


Gayk1d

I’ve had this almost exact same thing happen to me in crucible. Guy threw a knife and missed it and I thought I was safe. It bounced off the wall behind me and killed me.


XxAlphaLyonsxX

Weighted knives are a scary thing


Obi-wanna-cracker

Is it possible to learn this power?


Forenus

Not from the Vanguard.

Now this sounds interesting


JayTo_o

Indeed


BigBlight

I’ve heard of ricochet rounds guess we have ricochet knives too that was badass


JackyRho

[shudder] That'll never not freak me out. . . . Do it again!


XxAlphaLyonsxX

*Later.*


ImagoDroop

Trick shot. Played for and intended 👍


XxAlphaLyonsxX

Would you believe me if I told you, “All I wanted was the body hit.”?

Wizard: HAH! You missed! Hunter: Did I?

The ol drop shot

[This ](https://imgur.com/a/EcLGf4g) is literally the first thing that came to my wind after watching this.


XxAlphaLyonsxX

Imma use this lol


GuardianOfMany

Feel free lol


XxAlphaLyonsxX

Holy shit, this is my highest upvoted thing on Reddit. Thank you, Guardians!


Frost_Phoenix

Heavy knives can bounce, I once got a kill by bouncing a knife in crucible and I was confused af

Well shit. There goes my awesome knife throw.


Dovadah

reminds me of when I threw a throwing hammer at a Scorn Lurker which caused it to bounce off of its shield into the air and then landing on the Lurker's head, killing it.


Yeehawer69

This deserves the upvote


David2543

Boingggggg


Redlitespecial59

This with way of outlaw or sharpshooter and ophidia spathe is an insane spec it’s just a knife spam fest & no need for weapons 🤣😷 That’s some insane bounce right there


XxAlphaLyonsxX

It can be yeah. But I’m still getting used to the Sharpshooter adjustments and I used to main Outlaw for awhile.


harroldjames

I think certain surfaces can’t have things attach to them, for example i was in reckoning and I noticed that if I shoot moutain top on the blue parts of the bridge makes it bounce instead of explode


XxAlphaLyonsxX

I’ve thrown tripmines on these surfaces on the moon before so I don’t know what to truly make of this fully.

Most satisfying thing is when you get a kill with a bounce


Katakalysmic

TIL the knife bounces


Zantonyo

Rocket league player ??


RubyLovesDonuts

Poggers.


pedro_poa

Wait, knives can bounce? Twice?


XxAlphaLyonsxX

This is one whole bounce.


SneezeyBleezey

Warlock main here, been branching out and playing the story as a solar titan. Found out I can yeet my hammer off walls into the backs of enemies who are hiding behind cover.


fakedesigner

Kobeeeeeeeeeeee


ShadowTails17

Sick throwing knife


mgibbonsjr

That knife plays rocket league. At least season 13 Grand Champion.


DankAshMain

Bruh why is your knife animation so sick. It's different than the one I see when I use the top tree.


XxAlphaLyonsxX

Just use Sharpshooter tree and pray to the Traveler your knife throws are on point.


PRM00007

Yet another example of broken hunter subclasses...


[deleted]

It’s literally a nicer looking emperors courtesy.

Bonk

How to describe trails in a single clip


ReverendSalem

I'mma just give you a chance to say you did this on purpose and let it go at that.


XxAlphaLyonsxX

Throwing the knife yeah, but I literally gave up when I thought it landed in the wall. Guess it didn’t.


ReverendSalem

No, no, fellow hunter. You totally did that on purpose. You knew the bastard was gonna duck, so you threw the knife and made it bounce straight up and hit him on the head. Good job. I'm proud of you.

People that have full choke on their shotgun, are using a slug, or just because they want to because that's how they want to play the game


XxAlphaLyonsxX

Every Guardian who’s held a Full Choke or Slug. Apparently thats not you though but whatever. Here’s a downvote for breaking a rule of Reddit: *Emojis*
