Activatable dual knives for infiltrators

    Been thinking about the dual knives the Vanu infil was using to knife the poor NC guy to oblivion in one of the loading screens.

    And this got me wondering... how about some dual knives for infils?

    The knives deal 250 damage instead of 500, but make up for the small damage with a much faster firing rate of 450 or higher.

    If the compensation turns out to be a bit underwhelming, then the knives will further make up for the lackluster damage by increasing the wielder's sprint speed ten fold when activated (Making the wielder much faster than even someone with Adrenaline Pump equipped), but at the cost of draining the infiltrator's cloaking energy more and more the longer the infiltrator sprints with the knives activated.

    What do you think?

    That would be badass. The damage is good that you mention and also with a faster firing rate to make it the same speed as swinging a one handed knife with 500 dmg. And yea I always wondered the same thing in that loading screen lol. I was like Hell no that infil has two knifes,Come on devs you got the picture all wrong lol.

    I'd rather like dual pistols - once you pull the 2nd pistol, you can only aim like a MAX - but you double the firepower at short distances
    Well, wont happen anyway, all these crybabies will flood the forums with their tears :D

    Don't get me wrong - as cool as it might sound, it would also be OP as ****. I just got dreamy-eyed there for a while.
