Blades seem antiquated, and they are somewhat neglected in modern warfare. Yet, modern advances have created melee weapons that can slice through many armor types, natural barriers, and so forth. It takes very specialized instruction to truly master blade weapons, but all spies have the ability to complete pre-certification training in these weapons.
Blade attacks are performed at close range, standing only a meter or two from the target. It is almost mandatory to wear Stealth armor during such maneuvers, as victims often can be slain without a fight if they can’t hear your approach.
With advanced training, spies can unleash deadlier attacks when a victim is turned away—up to triple the lethality of a spy without advanced training. To achieve this consistently, spies often partner with squad mates who can attract enemy attention quickly. Alternatively, spies can call upon reinforcements, as inculcated during their ranger training. Reinforcements distract the target as the spy flanks for a rear attack.
