Knife Fight V3

Knife Fight V3 is a deluxe-tier torso implant in Marathon that provides +40 Melee Damage and +15 Fall Resistance while maintaining the -10 Hardware penalty carried from lower versions. The substantial jump to +40 Melee Damage makes V3 a genuinely threatening melee option, significantly increasing the damage output of each melee strike and rewarding runners who build whole encounters around getting into close range. The +15 Fall Resistance means runners can drop from elevated positions as part of their approach without meaningful health loss, complementing aggressive dive-in tactics. Knife Fight V3 is the deluxe sweet spot for melee builds, pairing well with Graceful Landings or other Fall Resistance implants in other slots to create a highly mobile close-combat runner.
