+*Any player stabbed while aiming or reloading, will die in one hit regardless of melee weapon (fists does half of the players heath bar).
+*The Officer and Medic class may receive a health increase when a Guard unit is near them. This will cause your stabs to do less damage each hit, this could require you to hit three hits to kill if you hit all lower body drags.

+*The Grenadier also has a static melee resistance buff.
