How to understand this part of rules?

Heavy weapons: knives

 

And no, I don't mean the wrong plural. Nvm, it's correct, my confusion made me read it wrong.

The knife part is for the baserace server, dont mix it up with other servers.

That doesn't really answer the question though. To be more specific, it brings even more confusion - why are knives heavy only on the baserace server?

Because we have increased the weight cvar for knifes on the baserace server. In the code the weight of a knife now equals the weight of the panzerfaust. Case closed I would say.

In ETpub one knife stab in the back is deadly. Pretty heavy if i could tell.

Whilst knifing some other area knife is quite useless.

Should balance it imo.
