Destiny Hunter Knife Looks Like The Perfect Prop For Throwing
Melee attacks in first-person shooters tend to be pretty mundane (no, we’re not talking about you, Gears of War). Whether you’re hitting people with the butt of a gun or thrusting your leg in an awkward kick, they don’t always feel quite satisfying. And then there’s Destiny…
During the beta, I spent most of my time as a Hunter. The knife melee was satisfying, but it was when I unlocked the ability to throw it (and thereby give my up close attack and a bit of personality from a distance) that I fell in love.
We’ve already started to see Destiny cosplay pop up, and this Etsy store prop from Gary Sterley Studios looks like it would make a cool addition for hunters. The listing says that the knife is resin with a cold cast aluminum finished. The grip is wrapped in cloth and the entire thing is 14 and a half inches in length.
Don’t take it on airplane. You can check the Hunter’s knife out on Sterley’s Etsy shop. He’s selling it for $69.99. You can also check out a pair of prop Thorn pistols we previously covered.
Destiny is out tomorrow for Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 3. To see it in action now, check out our Test Chamber.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
