Despair

The Despair is a set of throwing knives with micronic edges, used by the Stalker.

This weapon can be sold for.

Characteristics
Advantages:
 * Silent.
 * Appears to be capable of higher ranges than the Kunai.
 * Can penetrate straight through enemies, allowing it to hit multiple enemies if lined up (Bugged, only seems to work when you are host. Lag makes it work incorrectly).
 * Has two polarity slots, ideal for Hornet Strike and Barrel Diffusion mods.
 * Higher base damage than the Kunai.
 * Very fast reload speed.
 * Fully automatic.
 * The arc of each throw, although random, still allows you to accomplish headshots on enemies behind cover.
 * Infested Runners do not explode on death when killed by this weapon.

Disadvantages:
 * Non-hitscan weapon. Projectiles have travel time, giving more challenge against moving targets at long distances.
 * Although listed as 100% accurate, the Despair has a slight random spread with every throw, making long range targets more difficult to hit.(might be because of a mod decreasing your accuracy. Will do further research.)
 * The Stalker must be defeated to obtain or be bought in the "What Stalker?" bundle.

Acquisition
The Despair's blueprint cannot be purchased on market, but it is included in the What Stalker? bundle. The blueprint can also be acquired from the Stalker.

Tips

 * Using the Pistol Ammo Mutation mod can help regain lost ammo when needed.
 * Alternatively, bring along Team Ammo Restore or Medium Team Ammo Restore
 * For effective use of non-hitscan weapons, it is strongly recommended to learn Leading. In short, Leading means aiming ahead of your target so the projectile still hits him. It can be a challenge to learn it, for practice I recommend low level Grineer.

Bugs

 * Currently, while holding a Datamass, there is no proper "animation" or "alignment" of the Despair, for running with the Datamass. The Despair will float above/outside of your warframe's hands, as if you had a pistol in your hand instead. This problem also occurs when performing a Jump Kick.
 * Trails from the blades are much brighter with longer decay times since Update 11. This may be an intended effect.

Trivia

 * A "monofilament" is a fictional type of wire, consisting of a single strand of strongly bound together molecules. This theoretically creates an edge that is as micron or even nanometer thin, the sharpest possible.
 * Typically, they are applied as a cutting tool or a weapon that can sever nearly any object or other molecules.
 * Organic molecular wires have been proposed for usage in optoelectronics.
