Throwing a knife

This small tutorial will explain how to throw a knife.


 * All you need:
 * A human with inventory
 * A knife in the human's inventory
 * A hotkey for direct-fire (default: )

Preperation

 * 1) Select your man by left-click
 * 2) Make sure he has at least one knife in his inventory
 * 3) Select the knife as the human's secondary weapon

Action

 * 1) Enter direct-fire mode (an default by clicking  or hold the  -key)
 * 2) Move the courser to the point where you want to throw the knife
 * 3) Now press the left mouse-button to throw the knife
 * 4) Additionally, you can pick up the knife again into your inventory

Advantages/Disadvantages

 * Kills silently.
 * It does not need/cost any ammunition (the knife can be retrieved from the ground like a dropped weapon).
 * A successful hit always kills the target.
 * A knife only occupies two squares of inventory space, much less than most small arms.
 * The melee attack also kills silently by only one hit.


 * There is a bug which may cause the thrower to die while throwing.
 * The throwing-range is very short.
 * Knives are rather rare and are only available in a few missions.
 * Throwing of knives can only be done in Direct-Fire mode.
