About Knife
The Knife is the most basic melee weapon in GTA history. it's been in every mainline entry. In GTA V and Online it served as both a close-combat option and a stealth takedown tool. The stealth kill animations were what made it useful: approaching an enemy from behind with a knife equipped let you take them out silently, which was invaluable in missions where noise attracted reinforcements. In GTA VI, with its dual protagonist setup and heist planning, silent takedowns could play an even bigger role.
