Is their a throwing knife/axe in this one? I'm also a bit bummed that the riot shield has limited use. Throwing knife + shield was one of my favorite setups to mess around with.
You probably saw the shield ability, there's still a real riot shield.
I think the only throwing thing is the spike ball that you shoot out and you can pick it back up or also command it to return to you (and kill someone on the way back too)
