Description
Jimmy isn't the kind of guy that thinks less is more, which is why he dual-wields his set of Specialist knives.

The Specialist Knives is a pair of melee weapons available in PAYDAY 2, added with the release of Jimmy and his eponymous character pack.

Overview[]

The Specialist Knives are moderately weak damage-wise and knockdown-wise, charged or not, though they make up for this by having a fairly high swinging rate and concealment, making them decent as stealth melee weapons.

The Specialist Knives hold the same stats as the Okinawan Style Sai.

Tips[]

  • Players deal more damage per second with this weapon by attacking as quickly as possible, rather than fully charging attacks.
  • If a player wishes for more damage, it is recommended that they get Berserker, Pumping Iron and Bloodthirst Aced from the Brawler skill tree.
  • If a player wishes for more knockdown, use Martial Arts Aced.

Trivia[]

  • The Specialist Knives are modeled after a pair of American-made Ballistic knives. Their ability to "shoot" the blades is not available in-game.
  • Despite the inventory preview only showing one knife, the actual weapon and store icon has the player wielding two.
