Knight (Marty Rogers Jones Jr.) is a hostile Rogue boss and leader of "The Goons" squad, known for his aggressive, close-quarters combat style. He patrols multiple maps—, , , and —frequently rushing players with high-tier gear and teammates Big Pipe and Birdeye.

The most effective way to defeat Knight is to use his extreme aggression against him. Since this boss is programmed to immediately close the distance and pursue his target, you should never try to trade shots in open spaces or at long ranges. On open ground, Knight almost never misses, so your priority is to find solid cover with a narrow chokepoint, such as a doorway, corridor, or a building corner.

As soon as Knight detects your presence, he will begin a rapid assault. At this point, you need to hold a position behind a corner and wait for him to run directly into your sights. In close-quarters combat, his accuracy advantage is neutralized, and the animation of him sprinting or entering a door gives you precious seconds to deal lethal damage to his head or chest. Using automatic weapons with high-penetration ammo is critical here, as Knight has an increased health pool and high-tier armor.

It is vital to remember that Knight never acts alone. While you are focused on him, his teammates may flank you or provide suppressing fire from a distance. After taking Knight down, do not rush out to loot the body immediately. You must stay in cover and ensure that Big Pipe and Birdeye are not in the immediate vicinity, as they often use their commander's death as bait for an unwary player.
