Simple test to do in game - find a pig as FT and kill it with your knife. Now do the same as predator but use combistick.
While doing this scientific experiment please do keep in mind the FT knife is stainless steel 7inch blade, that can be broken in strong hands(personal experience), wielded by an adult Homo Sapiens. On the other hand, combistick is a 2.3m long melee weapon made out of super light and super sharp - nearly indestructible material(Predator lore), wielded by a adult Yautja - a creature so strong it can rip your head and spine out of your body with one move(also Predator lore).
Experiment results you will most likely see:
Knife kills pig in one blow
Combistick needs 2 to 3 blows to do the same job
Conclusion – there is an idiot working for Illfonic
Actions required – get him to fu** and get a hamster with brain damage to do his job – you will get better results
PS: How the fu** is it possible for a human to parry a combistic – or any other Yautja melee attack with this knife? I’m sure the brain-damaged hamster will know.
