Knife Catch

Lore & Background

The enemies encountered on Hades Station and other locations often utilize thrown projectiles to harass the player. The Knife Catch mechanic serves as a counter to this tactic. By catching the weapon, Greyson not only avoids damage but also acquires the means to strike back. This reflects the scavenger nature of the mercenary life, where every resource counts and waste is unacceptable in a high-stakes environment.

In Their Own Story

The corridor hummed with the static of dying lights. A Ripper lurked around the corner, arm cocked. Greyson didn't flinch. He watched the glint of steel arc through the smoke. Time seemed to stretch as the blade spun toward his chest. He stepped forward, not back. His hand snapped out, fingers closing around the cold metal inches from his skin. The Skillshot text flashed in his HUD. He smiled, gripping the knife. Now it was his turn.
