Originally intended for search and rescue operations this punch-blade gauntlet has been fitted with a razor-sharp blade and impact piston allowing for light damage to armor.
The KTR-3 Saboteur is a melee weapon available to all factions. It was unlocked upon completion of the Master tier of the Subterfuge event directive, which is no longer available.
The KTR-3 Saboteur is an 'anti-vehicle' knife. While it deals 50 less damage on-hit than standard knives, it uses the Heavy Machine Guns 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).
It is possible to earn both Ribbons and Medals while using the KTR-3 Saboteur. Each ribbon is a standard reward for achieving a set amount of kills with the weapon. Medals are awarded upon reaching kill milestones with the weapon.
The KTR-3's name appears to be a reference to a katar or kiddari, a type of punching dagger native to India that was used for puncturing armor.
The Subterfuge directive was on live servers for part of November 16th before the November 17, 2022 Update was released. As a placeholder, the Excursion Kukri was listed as its reward instead of the KTR-3.
The paint on the KTR-3 will match the faction colors of the character equipping it.
