Talk:Throwing knife (Fallout: New Vegas)

Looking at it in the GECK, the projectile is marked "Can be picked up," so yeah it appears to be a bug that you can't. I'm really not sure if anything can be done about that. Most likely what's happening is the projectile lodges itself in the wall, as opposed to bouncing to a stop like the Rock-It Launcher projectiles, so the wall's Havok mesh is preventing you from picking the knife up (replace wall with whatever your knife is stuck in.)

This looks like a case for Captain Obvious!
That attack rate is surprising. And the DPS with it. I have to wonder if the (as of yet unlisted) spread off-sets it. Or is the spread really 0 as per :New_Vegas_weapons? 217.211.88.20 21:55, December 1, 2010 (UTC)

Restock?
Do these not restock in shop inventories? I've tired waiting for weeks for the goodsprings general store, or mick and ralph's to carry more, but none have appeared. Blazingsand 04:38, December 19, 2010 (UTC)

If you have EVER purchased some from Mick nd' Ralphs then it becomes impossible to ever get them again... anywhere. it is listed in the bugs section. im quite dissapointed =/23:38, May 28, 2011 (UTC)23:38, May 28, 2011 (UTC)23:38, May 28, 2011 (UTC)207.119.174.199 23:38, May 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * has this been confirmed? And if so for what consoles? Zac hemker 02:01, June 13, 2011 (UTC)

(Xbox360)-They do restock. For some reason after I finished OWB, i noticed them appearing in mick and ralphs again.(I too was unable to find them after buying the first 15) usually around 2-5. But I also found some in the great khan armory. Wait every three days and visit all the merchants, one is bound to have a few of them.99.29.164.65 15:27, September 1, 2011 (UTC)

Ungodly Uncommon?
I have been playing this game for weeks now and I've played several different characters and I have never seen these. I was beginning to wonder if they had been cut from the final game. Zac hemker 09:59, January 17, 2011 (UTC)

For some reason I think the same. I havent seen these things in like 4 full runs of the game. The one time I could use them was fun, but it looks like they got banished by 1 of the latest 2 patches (PC). --Radnus 13:43, September 23, 2011 (UTC)

Why does Bethesda not increase the ways of getting thrown weapons?
It just seems ridiculous that Bethesda has these throwing hatchets and knives, and the slightly more common throwing spear, have nearly no sources whatsoever, the only way to get throwing spears in a steady amount is to be against the Legion, because only their lowbies have a decent amount of spears on them. Its either that Bethesda needs to make it so that throwing weapons are retrievable, or they need to make a more reliable source of throwing weapons, especially the ones that dont look retarded, such as the tubing with two railway spikes sticking out of it. Really? Thats Bethesda's invisionment of what a tomahawk looks like?!

implying Bethesda developed FNV or its DLC but I do agree it was very poor design on Obsidian's part. The tomahawk design is to make it fit within the universe of the game.

I thought the Tomahawk looked cool. Super Duper Mutant 07:56, November 7, 2011 (UTC)
