Tactical Knife

The  is a melee weapon in VALORANT.

Summary
The Tactical knife is a base melee weapon is provided to every player, and cannot be dropped. It has a two modes of fire: one being a fast slashing motion, and the other being a sharp jab. The primary slash has a three swing combo that loops, while the alt slash deals more damage in a single strike but with a longer recovery and slightly smaller range and hitbox. The weapon also deals double damage against the target's back.

Scoring a kill with this weapon rewards the same number of creds as a regular kill.

The player runs at 6.573m/s (Might be slightly inaccurate!) with the knife, being second in terms of running speed and is outmatched by the speed of the Golden Gun.

Skins
