They shouldn't exist but they do.

@AKS's alt if you don't like the mini crit stat then just look at the non mini crit backstab radius version (you cannot one hit backstab an enemy within the mini-crit stab radius is what I meant)

@Oofhelloppl the icicle is just a fuck you weapon against arsonist, at least the turtle rock let's you have bonus health when using the campers climber or want to have a better chance in melee duels

@Goat fanatic 400 while yes, changing the backstab mechanic for the icicle doesn't have anything to do with the knifes intent, it shouldn't just be a "I hate arsonist" weapon

Also I love how, intentional or not the devs keep on making agent more luck based and give her an unlock that has to do with gambling

Inspecting the sinister suit reveals 4 cards, each with different numbers and a class on them, meaning you can literally gamble

Increase the viability of the icicle, by doing literally nothing to fix the problem of it being a fuck pyro weapon and just increase the potential of it being an more fuck pyro weapon by allowing to trickstab arsonists more easily

Great idea

Yall don't play enough gunspy

(Consistency and knowing exactly what result you're gonna get is super important for those who didn't know)

Also so I don't have to say this later: gunspys don't use their knife unless it's clear that they're gonna be a full 180 degrees behind an unaware enemy or they're going for trickstabs on any class chasing them

Do you only play gun spy

You're not just locked into using gun spy by using the icicle, by this change being in this game, literally every trickstabber will automatically use this weapon especially with tc2 janky melee hitboxes

Then just take the version that only has no mini-crit backstab radius IE a radius that garuntees instant death but is smaller

You can say that decreased health without a speed boost, disguise or health from kunai or just stock makes you only play gunspy but agent is such a worthless class for a pick option that you're better off playing flanker or marksman (or unless of course the enemy team is trash)
