Hi I just updated my build and yes definitely it’s still good to run with a combat knife! For the flamer it’s quite hit and miss for me, so now I run auto pistol with inspiring barrage (given that perks are easier to get with the new update) Link to my build here: darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9d24074a-a07c-4d68-bf1b-6eac06993647/zealot-combat-knife-auric-maelstrom-ready-post-lnl-update-meta-build?

Also forgot to mention I started using MK6 combat knife, which has “wider” light and heavy attack patterns, and hence much better at managing mixed hordes!
