How to unlock the Blade of Death achievement in Mafia III: Definitive Edition - Definitive Guide

This is just to let people know, you don't start to use throwing knives until AFTER

early in the DLC,
....they are stuck in a doorway on the way out, you can only carry 5 at a time and they are used and accessed just like a grenade, hold down cn_RB to aim, release to throw

The great thing about this weapon is that you CAN get back the knife from a body after you used it!!!

You can also grind this RIGHT AFTER YOU GET THEM!!!! just use the 4 you get in the beginning on 4 enemies, let yourself get killed, you will start right back to when you first got the knives......the game keeps track EVEN if you die!!

NoHeroes94 mentioned that its really easy to get these kills in the last mission "Worse then Others", I barely started that mission myself and I already counted 9 kills!!!

Thanks for the tip NoHeroes94!!!

Another good place to get this is the compound in the last mission "Worse than Dying" with the objective "get inside"

There is no need to even grind this. So easy to get playing through as normal.

I understand, and I am not hating on your guide as it is clearly correct. I just wouldn't grind it as a it is incredibly easy to obtain through missions and by grinding, you have to wait for the long reload times.

And not only that, I was also trying to tell people when they start to have access to the throwing knives, and also how to use them in case they had any questions, or they don't like going in blind, lol.......oh yeah, forgot about the reload times, lol

It says you can carry 6 at a time in the inventory. Otherwise this is great guide & easy achievement.

Mines didn't pop & I had around 100+ kills with knives.

I was wearing the party animal t-shirt for another achievement so decided to switch clothing, tried again and popped right on 20 knife kills. Coincidence? Don't really care as it unlocked, whew!

This is bugged at the moment... Way over 20 kills with nothing.

Edit - unlocked after a while. Aim for headshots and will unlock. Maybe when they bleed out, it doesn't count?

This is a very easy trophy and you might even unlock it during the story missions if you use the Throwing Knives at every opportunity!

Throwing Knives are first unlocked during the second mission, "Covered In Blood". The game will tell you how to use them (hold and cycle with to equip, then hold to aim/fire at enemies). These are fantastic weapons to use because they are silent, they have no drop due to gravity and you can pick them up off dead enemies so you will never need to buy any! If you do need to buy them from the Arms Dealer, they only cost $500 each so it's not too bad. You only need to get 20 kills with these for the trophy.

Also note that sometimes the game doesn't register a person as an enemy unless they are hostile towards you. The best thing to do, is find 1-2 enemies away from everyone else, then aim at them until they become hostile, then kill them right away with the Throwing Knives. If done correctly, you will silent kill them without raising alarm.
