What is a Knifer?
Starting with Only a Knife
A Knifer is a playstyle where you start a raid with only a knife as your weapon. You navigate with the knife, find weapons on the map, and fight enemies. To minimize the risk of loss, it's advisable to equip nothing but the knife.
 Tip! | Even if you are defeated, the only downside is the medical expenses! Recommended for making money! |

Auto-Match Unusable
If you deploy with only a knife, you cannot use auto-match. If you want to use auto-match, equip a weapon and ammunition and start the raid.
Farm Map Recommended
When playing as a Knifer, the recommended map is Farm. The Farm map is small and has few open areas. Since knives only hit at close range, Farm, where close-range weapons are effective, is recommended.
How to Play with a Knife
Defeat Enemy NPCs and Take Their Weapons
On the Farm, enemy NPCs have low sniping accuracy. Even if you approach with a knife, you can often finish them off. Once you defeat an NPC, loot their equipment to take weapons and rigs. They always carry some kind of weapon, so defeating one will allow you to engage in firefights.
Aim for the Head as Much as Possible
Similar to guns, attacking the head with a knife deals significant damage. To reduce damage from enemies, aim for the head to increase your kill speed.
Procure from Supply Spots
It's also recommended to procure from weapon cases. When procuring from supply spots, you can get weapons without worrying about enemy damage. When playing as a Knifer, make sure to know where weapon cases are located.
Grenades are Also Powerful
Grenades are also powerful weapons in enclosed spaces. If you find a grenade case, don't forget to loot it.
Introduction to Supply Spots with Weapons
Weapon Cases
In the Stables and Motel, there are Advanced Weapon Cases where better weapons are more likely to appear. Besides these, there are large weapon cases and wooden weapon cases.
Storage Cases
Storage cases are located in the warehouse outside the Motel and in the Villa, containing weapons and armor.
Airdrop Tanks
North of the Loading Area, there are airdrop tanks where you can get weapons, armor, and magazines.
Collect Healing Items
Beware of Bleeding
It's difficult for Knifers to procure healing items. If you start bleeding, your health will continuously decrease, so keep in mind locations where you can loot healing items.
Procure Healing Items from First Aid Kits
It's recommended to loot three first aid kits at the "Garbage Collection Point" located between the Stables and the Motel. Also, a first aid kit is located inside the hut in the southern wheat field. Enemies tend to gather here, so be cautious when approaching.
Enemy NPC Rigs and Pockets
You can often find healing items in NPC rigs and pockets. Be sure to check them when playing as a Knifer.
