Krauser's durable Fighting Knife is perfect for enemy takedowns. Each kill grants 4 seconds, so draw foes into tight spaces. You can also sidestep while wielding the Knife, handy for dodging close-range threats and delivering precise attacks.
| How to Obtain the Fighting Knife |
Counter enemies with bombs using TMP
When facing enemies with explosives, steer clear of the Knife to prevent Krauser from getting caught in the blast. Instead, choose the TMP from a safe distance. Although its crosshair is less precise at range, aim for roughly three shots before closing in for a melee strike.

Use the bow to kill multiple enemies
When encountering a concentrated group of enemies, utilize the Compound Bow with explosive arrows to eliminate them. Bear in mind that loading arrows into the Compound Bow takes time, so it's prudent to keep a safe distance from the enemies during its use.
Use Bullet Rush for the stronger enemy
When facing formidable adversaries like Chainsaw Man or Brutes wielding hammers, unleash Bullet Rush without hesitation. Krauser's Bullet Rush switches to close combat mode, unleashing potent techniques that can tip the scales in your favor when tackling powerful foes or facing overwhelming odds.
Krauser's Bullet Rush
When activated, both arms mutate into melee mode.
When activating Krauser's Bullet Rush, both arms mutate into melee mode. This form boasts the power to break through enemy encirclement, making it an ideal choice in dire situations.
Perform melee combo attacks with R2.
During Bullet Rush, rapidly tap R2 for a flurry of melee combo strikes. This tactic is ideal for swiftly eliminating numerous close-range foes.
Perform a charging attack by pressing L2 and R2 simultaneously.
In Bullet Rush, initiate a charged attack by simultaneously pressing L2 and R2, targeting medium-range enemies. Remember, this attack consumes a substantial portion of the Bullet Rush time gauge, so use it judiciously when needed.
