Notes[]

  • There is a slight delay after firing a knife before being able to reload, which requires pausing before trying to reload, or tapping the reload button several times.
  • The right handed throw does not land at the same place as the left throw, landing lower and slightly to the right of your aim.
    • This can be counteracted, however, by holding a datamass or a power cell.

Tips[]

  • Projectile Speed mods will reduce projectile drop and increase projectile speed.
  • For effective use of non-hitscan weapons, it is strongly recommended to learn how to lead your target. In short, leading means aiming ahead of your target so the projectile still hits him. It can be a challenge to learn it, low level Grineer are recommended for practicing

Trivia[]
