Crowbar & Knife - Why were they added?

Pretty much this, why in the world did they implement these two additional weapons?

They don't seem to be any better than what we already had. I never see anyone using them.

It would have been cool if they did more damage, or had some secondary activatable action. Something that would give them a purpose like having the crowbar equipped won't trigger shop alarms, or the knife causing a bleed effect that would leave a small blood trail when you use your vampsense for some form of tracking.

Crowbar is actually really effective, at least in my experience. It has a very fast swing rate like the knife with more damage. Basically, imo anyway:

Knives are better than fists, crowbars are better than knives, and when you get to bat or axe, it comes down to preference of speed or power. Same with Katana and scourge.

Personally I feel the knife needs to be buffed a little

The knife definitely needs something for sure. There's just no range at all to it.

Agreed. While I disagree with the suggestion you had, I'd say maybe have it do some small DoT? Like if the enemy had gas on them. It would make sense given we are doing Lethal damage as opposed to Superficial.

Maybe just for variety

It's supposed to be something like the dual pistol, if you can't find anything better, it's still better than your starting pistol/fists.

More variety is good when your options are as limited as they were. I'm a little sad they didn't also add the long swords from the haven though.

Glad someone made this post. When they first added I was "oh snap they added new uncommon weapons" said absolutely nobody

Kind of makes sense that crowbar and knife Greens and Baseball Bat and Axe Blue and Katana and Scourge Blades Purple, they should actually give respawns the green weapons instead of the blues.

It would be cool if all weapons had a secondary attack like the purples, like the knife could have a charge up that did more damage and the baseball bat could have a knock back or something.

they should also add a fire torch or sword as a Legendary that gives people the fire debuff dot like when you hit the fire on the burning church.

Those are cool I ideas. Knife being throwable was my fav. Both knife and crowbar have faster hit speeds but smaller AOEs.

I downed 2 people with my crowbar yesterday. It's a good weapon.

You can also down two people with the baseball bat and fire axe, it doesn't really mean anything by this statement. The point of the post was that their addition, especially when they added them, is rather pointless when we already had the bat and axes.

For variety and as someone else said, it's better than nothing.

To make challenges harder.
