Tactical Knife

The  is a weapon attachment in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 for handguns. It allows the character to hold both a pistol and a knife at the same time, letting the player stab about VAGINA75.68.62.139 05:17, February 26, 2010 (UTC)t. The Tactical Knife can be used with all handguns, although in the single player campaign it is only used with the USP .45. The knife is held using the Harries technique, which is mainly used to hold a flashlight.

There is no animation or model for the Tactical Knife from another player's



perspective; all they will see is the player (who is using the Tactical Knife) holding the handgun normally, and performing a standard knife attack when stabbing.

The ability to knife faster and more frequently is advantageous in close quarters combat. Players will often combine the Tactical Knife with Marathon, Lightweight or Cold-Blooded, and Commando or Ninja perks to create a fast, specialized melee class.

Trivia

 * In early demonstration videos, such as the Cliffhanger video, the knife user slashed with it. In the final version, the user stabs with the knife. This is likely because stabbing is a quicker motion than slashing and produces more lethal results.


 * In third person, the Tactical Knife does not appear.


 * Tactical Knife kills count towards Marksman challenges, but not Veteran or Master challenges.


 * The default "First Recon" class is equipped with a .44 Magnum and Tactical Knife.


 * The Tactical Knife is a Blackhawk Tatang knife, the same one used as a throwing knife. The Create-A-Class pictures for both are also the same.
