Butterfly knife

From TF2 Wiki

Information

The Butterfly Knife (or 'Balisong') is the Spy's melee weapon as well as the weapon most responsible for his kills. Spies usually sneak behind enemies to backstab them, which can kill the target in one hit if striking any part of the enemy's back to a radius of 180 degrees. Uniquely, Critical hits do not occur with Butterfly Knives except during humiliation.

The Butterfly knife used from the side or front is the weakest melee weapon in the game. From this angle each hit is roughly as weak as the Scout's Baseball bat, but the Spy lacks the Scout's movement speed to close in on a target and the Butterfly knife attacks at a slower rate than the bat. Rely on evasion or the Revolver for medium range combat or in situations where a backstab is difficult to achieve.

Damage

• Point blank: 30-50
