Combat Knife

Where to find it

Chance that one search turns one up. Loot gets better as you level up (in co-op, the lowest level in the group counts).

What it's for

What you can use it on

• The infected — all of them. How many swings that takes depends on your MELEE skill, what you are wearing and what you are buffed on, so nobody can put a number on it.
• A fast weapon — less damage a swing, but more swings and less stamina, which is what you want in a doorway.
• Short reach: you have to be close, which is the price of how quick it is.
