Blood Rage Dagger Stats
Time for a breakdown of why you want this knife. By default,it does bleeding damage, and the unique perk ‘Infectious’ will force surrounding Zombies to also start bleeding after you only attack the first.Not only do you get one of the best status conditions without needing to craft the mod, but it will force this condition to the entire group without any issue.
Puncture Wound will also ensure the bleeding damage is boosted when you land critical hits,and this damage boost also transfers to critical hit damage, meaning the more critical hits you perform, the more powerful they become. This carries over to the charged version of your attacks, as your player character will lunge forward and do a blow powerful enough to kill many generic foes in a single hit.
Agile means your Dagger stabs get faster every time you kill a Zombie.The boost is only minor, but it grows the more Zombies you kill.
While not a stat, it should also be noted that the official description claims this was the weapon of choice for the firstDead Islandpossible protagonist Xian Mei. So, fans of hers have something special as a memento if they get this for their weapon wheel.
There’s only one stat left, and it’s so out-of-left-field and yet so wonderful, it needs its own section.
Headhunter On A Knife
The Blood Rage Dagger has Headhunter status, something you’d normally find on firearms.It boosts critical hits on Zombie headshots.So when holding this Dagger, aim to stab the Zombies in the head. When combined, the Critical perks make a triple, and quick stabs will suddenly send heads flying from their shoulders.
