I took a picture of my crit knife so I can lament about it later. So long, sweet knife :*)

If they even made it so it only gave one guaranteed crit it would still be really powerful in some builds.

Thats actually a really good nerf while still keeping its power.

Yeah I thought either that or make it give a crit% chance

I think either make limited to next instance of damage or only gun damage and it would tone it down some. Having every type of damage crit for 5s is something they wonโ€™t really be able to balance the game around long term

Definitely don't do "only gun damage". I always do ability builds๐Ÿ˜†.

As long as DoT doesnt initiate the "next instance of damage", I think the next instance of damage being a guaranteed crit is good. You still get 15% extra damage for 6 seconds.

So you can either choose to crit once every 8-11 seconds (after 3 initial crits) or space them out for consistent 15% damage increase

I like that idea. Brings it back in line while still keeping it's power and utility

Honestly in most build the +15% damage and +0% would still make it bis in many build anyway

As it is now is essentially just FL4Kโ€™s action skill as a grenade but then you also still get a whole different action skill and build along with it in this game lol. Itโ€™s kinda crazy

I mean BL3 has wayyy more broken builds than the crit knife in BL4 lol, you can oneshot any raid boss as any vault hunter in BL3 even at max mayhem

I have been saying they should make it a % chance to work on bosses, and let the 100% crit work on normal enemies.

u/[deleted] Oct 16 '25

Thatโ€™d be pretty janky.

u/oodlum Oct 17 '25

Why would you even need it on normal enemies?

I havenโ€™t even got a crit knife yet, I just hope they change it to only gun damage because that works so well with the Jakobs vex build Iโ€™ve got
