Since the new patch, I can’t equip the throwing knifes anymore. It says it will be unlocked at Recon rank 9 but I’m already at rank 20. Am I alone?

I’ve got the same issue. There’s so many bugs and missteps with this patch. Their QA team should be ashamed.

Yeeeeeeep. It’s bloody annoying, cause I really want to finish off some Recon assignments, but I’m not gonna bother playing it without my favorite gadget.

Just wanted to chime in and say I have the exact same issue. Already level 20 recon when the patch hit, knives locked behind “level 9”. It’s bad enough they nerfed the crap out of them. At least let me use them for CQB.

It really changes the feel of recon PTFO without them.

Same problem here, lets hope they fix it quick.

At this point with how overwhelmingly bad this patch has been I wish they’d just roll it back. They either broke things, nerfed things people didn’t ask for, or just fundamentally changed things for the worse.

It’s a sad state.
