The announcement of Counter-Strike 2, which is scheduled for release in the summer of 2023, has sparked flights of fancy about "what CS is missing." In this article, we will look at the top 5 combat knives that are still missing from Valve's shooter and would be a great addition when transitioning to the new engine.
Counter-Strike is a tactical shooter where players use various weapons to achieve victory. Knives in CS:GO are an important type of weapon and the game features different types of them. While a huge number of knives and their skins have already been added to CS, there are still some that are missing and it would be interesting to see them in CS2.
Machete
A machete is a knife with a wide blade that is used for both combat and cutting through vegetation. It was created in Latin America as a tool for working with plants. However, over time it became popular as a weapon thanks to its impressive appearance and ease of use. Nowadays, the machete is widely used in various countries for self-defense, survival in extreme conditions, as well as for chopping wood, clearing tropical vegetation, and even hunting.
Bolo
The Bolo is a traditional knife that is used in the Philippines as both a weapon and a tool. It is named for its shape, which resembles the curved blade of a machete but with a wider base. The Bolo is used for chopping, preparing food, hunting, or even scalping, and is considered one of the most versatile knives in the Philippines.
Kukri
The Kukri is a traditional knife used in Nepal, India, and other South Asian countries. It has a distinctive shape that resembles a combination of an axe and a knife. Its blade is wide and curved, and the handle has a shape that allows for a comfortable grip. The Kukri is known for its high effectiveness in combat as well as being a tool for chopping, cutting, and dividing.
Tanto
The Tanto is a Japanese dagger that was developed in the 8th-9th centuries and used as a secondary weapon by samurai. It also resembles a small Katana. The Tanto is used as a weapon in Japanese martial arts such as Kendo and Aikido. It was also carried by doctors and merchants as a self-defense weapon.
Kunai
Kunai is a Japanese knife that was originally used as a farming tool and later evolved into a weapon. It has a rectangular blade with a sharp tip and a wide handle. Kunai was mainly used as a throwing weapon. Thanks to its shape and relative lightness, it could be thrown up to 20 meters with sufficient accuracy to hit the target. In addition, it was often used in close combat, for example, to block enemy attacks.
The transition of the legendary CS to the Source 2 engine opens up new possibilities both for the game developers and for the fans who create cosmetic items for the shooter. Adding new types of knives will not only bring additional revenue to the developers, but also diversify gameplay for regular players.
