Combat knife

"An ultra-high carbon stainless steel knife."

- Description in Deus Ex

The combat knife is a low-tech skill weapon in Deus Ex.

Overview
The combat knife has the lowest damage among lethal melee weapons, but is also the smallest in terms of inventory size. Thus, the combat knife serves as the most basic lethal melee weapon in Deus Ex. The combat knife has the same reach as the baton and crowbar.

Despite its low base damage, the combat knife is still capable of killing common troopers in one hit when attacking from behind at point blank range, as long as the attack hits the target's head or torso. In non-stealth situations, the combat knife requires three attacks to the head to take down a common trooper at the untrained skill level.

Due to its small inventory size, the combat knife is convenient for destroying breakable objects such as crates.

Tips

 * The combat knife is effective when used in conjunction with the pepper gun, since damage is increased four-fold against enemies stunned by the pepper gun.
