The fired projectile is not a hitscan weapon, instead following a slow, parabolic arc. The fired projectile has no body multipliers, leaving no reason to aim for the head other than for challenge or humiliating enemies. The fired projectile, if it hits a target, deals a flat 250 damage, regardless of range to the target, killing the target instantly. The melee attack of the Ballistic Knife functions like the regular melee attack, except that the attack interval of the Ballistic Knife's melee attack is faster, making the user more adept at using their melee attack. The Ballistic Knife can either be used as a more effective melee attack, or used to shoot a projectile. The Ballistic Knife is a secondary weapon.
In the mission ' Numbers', there is an unusable Ballistic Knife in the room where Clarke keeps his weapons.
