Note: | Available as part of Seventh Anniversary Bundle. |
The Ancient Psykinetic Blade is a melee weapon available to all factions. It is unlocked upon purchasing the Ancients tier of the Seven-Year Anniversary Bundle.
The Ancient Psykinetic Blade is an 'anti-vehicle' knife. While it deals 50 less damage on-hit than standard knives, it uses the heavy machine gun damage type, similar to the M20 Basilisk, rather than the normal melee type, allowing it to deal damage to all vehicle types as well as increasing the damage the knife deals per-swing versus MAXes.
Note that, because of this change in resistance type, damage reduction effects such as Nanoweave Armor level 2 will begin to reduce damage dealt by this weapon (aside from damage dealt to the head).
To quick melee with this weapon, press the Melee Attack hotkey ( by default) while holding any other weapon. To equip this weapon for wielded melee, press the Equip Melee hotkey (- by default).
