At the moment the only knife that has the 150% movement speed is the NKVD knives, all others special knives like the san Marco dagger, Moroccan dagger and the faibairn Sykes dagger have the standard movement speed.
I suggest:
•increase the 3 knives I mentioned to have the same movement speed as the NKVD knives
•also increase the run speed of the trench club, machete and tomahawk to 150%
Axes also should get a higher mov speed it’s bad that they have 0% movement boost
this is NKVD Bias!
I think it might diminish the significance of swords and event knives if axes had the same ability.
I also hope they make it smaller, it’s just so stupidly large and unrealistic! It’s more like a fantasy item.
The JP katana should get 155% or 160% movement speed boost so its actually more useful than the shin gunto
tbf now, its a bit of a DIY tool, so it isnt really limited in size.
And trust me when I say there are more unique options out there.
Then make them drain stamina faster as they are heavier than a sword/knives. Same speed less distance travelled. Besides NKVD knives were always a stupid Counter Strike fantasy bs with it’s movement boost. Adding that to the game was a mistake.
Tbh I think I could run faster with a knife than with a sword, but either way simply holding a melee weapon irl wouldn’t negate the weight of all the equipment.
No
Especially Trench Club shouldn’t get even more buff
It got OTK damage, further range than saber, dagger attack speed, can sprint, 40% speed boost.
It’s already the melee with the best (or P2W) overall performance.
It’s already better, with extra 0.2 attack range makes it the best saber like weapon.
Yes, but what it is now seems so unrealistic and ridiculous. Battlefield clubs remind me of war, but this club reminds me of Dark Souls.
dont be a smart ass, the real reason to use swords is the movement speed boost
So? why it should be better than shin gunto (although it is already) . Japan have TT saber which other faction can only get by event doesn’t mean their event stuff should be even better.
It’s like soviet have body armor, which is limited in other faction, won’t makes soviet premium body armor squad (beltfed DP) get 20% damage reduce.
Because it’s an uncommon event item and it should be more desirable than the free version. The 0.2 extra range does not make any impact at all, so please stop bringing it up like it’s some amazing attribute
Haha, who promised you this? DF?
You are talking like everyone agrees that event/premium should be better than TT stuff.
And like I said, it’s already better, yet you are still unsatisfied.
Because event swords are literally incredibly valuable for every faction that isn’t Japan, and there is no reason to use the katana over the shin gunto because the range is worthless. The range does not make it better. For all intents and purposes, it is functionally the exact same because the range will not ever mean the difference between getting a kill or not at such a tiny value as +0.2 meters
Easiest solution: remove all movement speed boost. 
It doesn’t make sense that I can run faster with a kantana / club than with a knife / small axe in my hand.
And the bots should also be given the ability to sprint (to keep up with the player).
I agree, it may also encourage younger playerbase to run with scissors
