Knife Party is a map in Pixel Gun 3D introduced in the 6.3.0 update. Only Melee weapons can be used.
Appearance[]
The layout includes a throne made entirely out of melee weapons including two Katanas, a bloody Scythe, and many other various melee weapons, there are also several small chairs, a courtyard area with a bridge surrounded by lava. If you go out on the dirt path surrounding the whole map (and being surrounded by lava), you can see ammo packs floating above the lava. At times, the dragon can be seen, but can not be attacked even if you are in close range with it. It is possible to jump out on the top/outside of the map with the Ninja Tabi boots and other anti-gravity equipment and potions. There's also torches around the place. A red carpet also leads to the throne of the knives on the stairs.
Strategy[]
- Equip a pet like "T-REX" or Fairy Beast or Turkey in order to obtain extra kills.
- Stay away from the lava that is in the interior and the exterior of the castle.
- Do not expect to use other weapons, since this map only permits Melee weapons, contrary to what the existence of an ammo pack (actually a decoration part of the map) suggests.
- Use area damage Melee weapons in order to make killing much easier for you.
- Get to a higher ground, e.g. the throne of knifes or on top of the wall, so they cannot hit you.
- Use A Fire Orb , Electrosphere, Healing Staff or Storm Hammer to increase your chances of winning.
- If you spawn in the Throne Room, try not to clump together with your teammates. Although it might seem that you have strength in numbers, there are several melee weapons that can wipe out large groups.
- The Combat Yo-Yo can pierce targets, and the Yo-Yo can travel quite a fair distance forward. If the user sweeps the Yo-Yo across your team, they could kill all of you or injure you severely.
- Area damage melees like the Storm Hammer, Runic Hammer and the Electrosphere can deal great damage up close, and their area of effect reaches behind them, too. If they decide to dive into your team's ranks, they could deal significant damage.
- If you spawn in the maze part of the map, try to avoid blindly running into the throne room. The enemy will be waiting there, and in coordinated groups they can easily kill individual invaders.
Theme[]
It's mostly a castle with lava surrounding it with a dragon on the red tower. It has rooms that leads to a dead end or the throne with the melee weapons.
Melee Weapons Not Allowed[]
Here is a list of melee weapons not allowed in Knife Party
- Heroic Epee (due to the healing area feature it has)
- Disconnector (due to it being a ranged melee)
- Formerly Tactical Knife but it was added back
- Monster Claw (the reason is currently unknown)
- Reflected Santa Sword (due to its
ability being a projectile, though it doesn't make sense because Special Throwing Knives is not banned yet has a similar feature) - Dash melees and PTT melees (due to their unrivaled mobility, power and sheer ease of its usage)
Temporary Removal[]
This map was unintentionally and temporarily removed from the game in the 17.7.0 update because, according to an unofficial support member in the Pixel Gun 3D Discord, players have a tendency to create servers in this map while using two devices at the same time, one for attacking and the other being for the target, so that they can receive increased points, resulting in increased rewards.
However, the unofficial support member's reasoning was incorrect. It turns out that, according to the developer, the map was removed because it was a bug that made it not available for Android users to play on. The map was later recovered into the game and reworked a few days after its removal.
