How to Use Throwing Knives in Sea of Thieves
Since you can use Throwing Knives as a melee as well as a ranged weapon, here are a variety of attacks you can perform with these powerful knives:
Quick stab
Click on the attack button to perform the quick stab attack. Although the damage is low, it will be an effective attack once you are able to master it.
Heavy downward blow
Press and hold the attack button to raise your weapon, and release it when you are ready to strike your enemy. This will deal more damage than the quick stab attack, however, you will have to ensure that you have correctly targeted your enemy, as this attack has slower movement.
Throw
Hold down the aim button and once you have set your target, click on the attack button to throw the knife. While this attack does deal a good amount of damage, you will have to make sure that you aim precisely. However, the only way to get better at this attack is by using it time and again, especially during ranged combat.
If you do end up missing a throw, you will have to interact with the weapon to pick it up and use it again. It is also important to note these knives can be picked up and used against you by other players.
Additionally, you will be able to hold and use up to five Throwing Knives. Once you have spent all five of them, you will have to refill your knife supply by using ammo pouches or ammunition boxes.
