    Throwing knives and ninja stars are more stealthy. If you use grenade the attack will be unstealthed most likely I don't think there's any crit boost, but not sure

So, the throwing knife has good damage but absolutely horrendous accuracy.

Standard grenades have better damage with FAR better accuracy, and are a fraction of the cost.

Is there any reason to use a throwing knife at all? I thought I had read somewhere a long time ago that they were supposed to have increased critical hit damage, but I can't seem to find anything confirming this.

So, throwing knives. Situationally useful, or utter garbage?

Just to confirm that there's no crit boost, all weapons have the same base crit rate which is then changed by edu, merits, and - for shooty things - weapon mods. You also now have the new "Deadeye" weapon bonus.

Evidently there was an abandoned plan to have a higher crit rate for low ACC weapons some years ago.

definitely stealthier, and yes, some would be trying for the 100% weapon experience

otherwise, probably utter garbage

you can always post in the Bugs and Issues forum to see if they would add the crit boost...
