Knockback

Knockback is the ability that a weapon may have to knock your target down while at the same time pushing it over the ground, be it because of the perk of that name or the type of damage they inflict.

The following weapons have the Knockback perk:

• Super Sledge
• Sledgehammer
• Louisville Slugger

The following weapons can knock back your enemies due to their type of damage:

• Grenade (Frag)
• Rocket Launcher

The difference

• In the case of the former, knock-back effect can be triggered in the case of a critical hit only.

• In the case of the latter, knock-back effect can be, and often is, triggered by any hit.
