Knuckledusters

Melee WeaponsCriminality

Overview[1]

The Knuckledusters function as a direct upgrade to the Fists, supporting significantly more damage for no extra stamina cost. Much like the Fists, the Knuckledusters feature a "combo" mechanic, in which landing 3 consecutive hits will result in the designated target being temporarily stunned. A "blocking" mechanic is also present, though it is only capable of blocking the Knuckledusters themselves and the Fists, along with being able to block the Nunchucks.

Patch history

The Fists and Knuckledusters were temporarily buffed in version V1.0.4 (October 27, 2020), making the Fists deal 9 damage with a Cooldown of.45s. The buffs were reverted as of V1.0.7 (November 7, 2020), resulting in a community outcry. The Fists surprisingly have more stud-range than the Knuckledusters, this is surprising since the Knuckledusters are an exclusive gamepass. The old gamepass description (roughly) said "Take fist fights to the next level with 75% more damage and more brutal sounds" Knuckledusters hitbox are different than Fists hitbox. Category:Melees
