Anyone into these? Reminds me of assassins creed but I don't know if they are actually useful enough in this game to bring up my melee stats.

Not really, they are cool and all, but so very rare. I might use them if I could pick them up after I've thrown them, but as they are now I don't really see much of a point.

According to the wiki, you can pick them up...

Just like spears and throwing hatchets. They aren't worth the caps as they are one use items.

Maybe it was fixed in a patch then? I haven't tried using them since the prior patch days so they could very well have been changed. Can anyone confirm this?

It was a misread on my part. They CANNOT be picked up and reused. svcks.

svcks like a hoover.

If your on the PC maybe there is a mod for this.
