How to Play with the Butterfly Knife

Tactically, players should consider the following tips:

• Stealth: Stealth is your main ally when using a knife. Try to make as little noise as possible and approach the enemy in a sneaky manner, so they don't notice you. This will give you the chance to stab them in the back and eliminate them.
• Ambush Tactics: A good strategy is to play from an ambush position. Find a secluded spot on the map and wait for the enemy to run past you. Make sure no teammates are following them. Once the path is clear, come out of hiding and start chasing them. With a knife, you’ll catch up quickly and deliver a lethal blow. The key is to mimic their movements precisely; otherwise, the risk of being discovered is very high.
• Avoid Direct Attacks: Don't try to engage in a "hat-trick kill" (i.e., a direct attack on an enemy with a lethal weapon). Such a move will almost certainly fail, and with a 99.9% probability, you'll be killed.
• Request Team Support: Asking for support from your teammates is always a good idea. At the right moment, they can cover you, increasing the chances of success in the current round.
• Use of Grenades: Flashbang and smoke grenades are helpful for confusing the enemy and giving you time to move in for the attack.

Counterattack Tactics

• Avoid Tight Spaces: Stay away from narrow tunnels and small rooms. Fighting an opponent with a butterfly knife in such spaces can be deadly.
• If You’re Engaged: If a collision happens, try to quickly move to the side or back, then aim your weapon at the enemy and open fire.
