The Black Rose is a promotional melee weapon for the Spy. It is a serrated team-colored butterfly knife with roses engraved on the blade and a symbol of a rose with a circle around is imprinted on the grip. Its Baccara style colors the weapon almost entirely black.

The Black Rose is awarded to players who complete the Alliance of Valiant Arms achievement 1st One Down by creating a character and playing their first game. This weapon functions identically to the standard Knife.

Update history

February 14, 2012 Patch

  • Added the Black Rose to the game.

Bugs

  • When changing styles, the weapon preview will be slightly poping over the frame.
  • With the Baccara style on Blu, the view model still uses Reds textures.
  • If the style is changed while the weapon is out the appearance will not change in first person view, swicthing weapons fixes this.

Trivia

  • Baccara is another name for a black rose.
  • Black roses symbolize many dark emotions, prominently among them is revenge.
  • The weapon's description is a play on the phrase "Say it with flowers" which is commonly associated with the giving of roses to loved ones or during a cermonial were roses are placed upon a corpse as a sighn of respect.

Notes

  • Alliance of Valiant Arms is not available in certain countries, making the Black Rose unobtainable to certain residents. A list of whitelisted countries may be found here.
