How to Use Throwing Knife



Perform Chain Assassinations

If you have the Chain Assassination skill unlocked, you can use your Throwing Knife to assassinate a second enemy from a distance after performing the first assassination.

List of All Skills

Destroy Alarms

Hitting the alarm in an outpost with a Throwing Knife will destroy it, preventing additional enemies from coming to aid their allies who are engaged in combat with you.

Immobilize Armored Enemies

Throwing a knife at an armored enemy's feet will temporarily immobilize them, providing you with the opportunity to eliminate them while they are incapacitated.

Create Chaos from a Distance

Use your Throwing Knives to interact with objects in the environment and handle various situations. For example, you can hit a sack of dust to create a temporary smoke bomb. Additionally, striking a flaming vase will cause it to explode, eliminating enemies who are too close to it.
