As a weapon which specializes in Physical damage, the Barrow Knife is boosted by the Dueling skill.As a Melee weapon, the Barrow Knife can be used to stun enemies with a flurry of close-range attacks. This is particularly useful for enemies with heavy weapons, especially if you can interupt the enemy’s reloading animation.

However, bear in mind that using a melee weapon as your main source of damage can put you at a disadvantage in a major firefight if you haven’t packed enough healing consumables. Stock up on medicine that boosts your damage resistance to further improve your effectiveness with the Barrow Knife.
