Throwing Knives in action
What is Throwing Knives?
Throwing Knives is a Counter-Strike 2 mod by xplay.gg that lets you throw your knife with a left click. The knife flies fast and flat with a glowing trail, and the first thing it touches decides the outcome: a player takes the hit, a wall swallows the knife. You get a few throws per life, refilled on respawn, or unlimited throws if the lobby owner chooses. A knife in the head deals double damage.
What you can tune
- Knife damage: 1-100, or 0 for an instant kill
- Knives per life: 1-10, or 0 for unlimited
- Trail colour: any RGB colour, violet by default
- Chat messages: knives left after each throw
- Knives for everyone, one side, a team or picked players
The lobby owner changes these in the lobby's Mods tab before the match.
Why it's fun
Double in the head
A knife in the head deals double damage. Set damage to 0 and any hit kills on the spot, armour or not.
Count your throws
You get a few knives per life and they refill on respawn. Run out and the click is a normal knife swing again.
Unlimited knife fights
Set knives per life to 0 for unlimited throws, and the whole round becomes a knife fight at range.
