Why in WH40k universe small weapon have superiority?

Someone at Fatshark really loves the video game/fantasy knives as a primary weapon trope. One of the best weapons in VT is the dual knives for the elf, and they perform above and beyond almost every other weapon because reasons.

I think I know.

Board meeting. Darktide. What should it be like?

Suit1. Import everything from Vermintide2! That’s our bread and butter.

Suit2. Put in all the cool weapons from w40k.

Suit1. Make sure the old stuff is as good as the new stuff, we don’t want to lose the vermintide audience, and I, being a super genius about gamers, (even though I don’t play) know for sure that audience won’t like a game without axes and plain swords.

Suit2 Also all the new guns!

Suit1 Oh no! If all the zombies get shot, we won’t be able to use shovels to clear the zombies! Shovels are testing really well both with walking dead fans and people who like the uh… Dead Corps of Craig. Is that the Craig form southpark? Nevermind don’t care.

Just put in a shovel. Make sure it’s as good as this uh… I dunno, powersword? What is that? Actually nevermind, don’t care just don’t make it better then a shovel. And come up with something to force them to use shovels and swords up close.

Coding Dev "uh, we could make the lasers not hit well up close, and uh… we could make dodges autofail with ranged weapons and we could uh… put a long swap animation so you can’t take the gun out easy…

Suit1 and 2 PERFECT!

the 1d5 knife outdoing 90% of the whole arsenal
