The Flick Knife is a Weapon and Tool in the 2008 Alone in the Dark game.
History[]
The Flick Knife is a weapon introduced in the 2008 Alone in the Dark game, it can be used to pierce Gas Tanks or as a weapon in combat.
In Combat, the Flick Knife is slow and weak, a single hit will briefly stun a Humanz but it's easy for them to hit you before you can slash again and it requires more hits to knock out a Humanz than any of the two-handed melee weapons you can pick-up, still it gives Carnby a means to always defend himself as long as it's in the inventory in addition to having the Screwdriver's use of piercing Gas Tanks and it cannot be knocked out of Carnby's hands like the other melee weapons.
The Flick Knife suffers from a glitch when used in first person, where when too-close to a Humanz and trying to swing, the Knife will get "stuck" until you move back where the Knife Swing Animation stops until you back up from the target.
It can be found in Blue Cars or Kitchens of buildings generally.
In the PS2/Wii version, Carnby always has the knife but it cannot be selected to be used in combat or seen in the Jacket, it can only be used to counter and kill a Humanz that has knocked Carnby to the ground and climbed ontop of him.
Trivia[]
- This is the only melee weapon that can both be used in first person and stored in the Jacket in 2008.
- The weapon has two very different attack animations, being held in a Reverse Grip and slashed from Right to Left in Third Person and being slashed from Left to Right with a regular grip in First Person.
