@A Fandom User One Above, (If you want to skip all this writing just go to the last paragraph, it's a summary.) Which one would you rather have: Low damage with infinite durability, or high damage with medium durability? Picture it as a FPS. Would you choose the gun with limited ammo but high damage, or the one with infinite ammo with a low damage? Personally, I would take the low damage/infinite ammo gun because I don't die very often in FPSs. A knife arm would have durability, and would eventually break, leaving you searching for the same materials again (and again) to recraft it.

All of that, of course, depends on whether or not the knife arm had durability. If it had infinite durability, (or, for the analogies sake, infinite ammo and high damage), it would be an extremely better option to choose. Of course, it that was the case, you should have a drill arm in the PRAWN inventory, for when the need to drill something arises.

Lastly, you need to take into account the attack speed of each of these arms. The drill arm would, in our analogy, be a gatling gun, due to the fact it can attack for an infinite ammount of time as long as it has power and the target is within range. The knife, however, would be a battle rifle in our analogy. Personally, as both a sniper lover and someone who has actually shot snipers, I would take the battle rifle in this case. But, since both of these things have the same area of expertise here, I would take the gatling gun.

Let's review using the analogy. A low range, low damage, infinite ammo, fast attack rate gatling gun, or a low range, high damage, limited ammo, slow-medium attack rate battle rifle (or, without durability of the knife arm, low range, high damage, infinite ammo, slow-medium attack rate battle rifle). Reading this over, I would take the gatling gun. None of this probably matters, though, since the knife arm may never be added. Either way I'm content with my arguement.
