GlasgowGamingGuy 2 Posted April 18, 2016 Not a lot of player know this and I discovered it by accident, but you can infact make a knife. This could be useful in any number of situations, but most importantly, when trying to open a can of food. The video isn't the best quality as it was one of my first but it shows you what to do. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sachad 1016 Posted April 18, 2016 Not to sound pedantic, but this is pretty old news. It's literally the first thing I do when spawning, even before chucking my road flare :P Still, never hurts to advertise the basics for the new folks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Killawife 599 Posted April 20, 2016 Craft knife, cut stick from tree, make rope from rags, make backpack from rags and burlap. Pretty basic stuff really. The most annoying part of it is when you are standing on a rocky beach where you can see literally thousandsa of rocks, you search for it and find nothing, you search again - nothing. And then this happens for twenty fucking times before you find a rock? On a beach? Full of rocks? 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess that is what they are simuating 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess that is what they are simuating I think that's right. I also think that when this goes beta the improvised knife needs to get much worse at basically everything. Still, thanks for sharing this OP, I'm sure there are lots of new players (and some not so new) that don't know this.

Excanto 336 Posted April 22, 2016 Well a Flake Knife is pretty wicked. You make a mistake with a flake knife and you will see lots of red stuff. A flake knife is extremely sharp but yes, brittle.. I don't recall ever finding flint or obsidian on any California beach. The part that is really wrong is opening a can with a flake knife, lol uh..nope. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yea but a tin can be easily and fairly efficiently opened by whacking it along the edges of a table or, indeed many more ways without tools, and we can't do that so I look at it all as a trade off. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be sure, primarily I want to see it degrade very rapidly with use. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
