Knockback is the action of being moved from one tile to another by means of a damage source. In DoomRL terms, rather than saying that a player was knocked back some number of tiles, it is more common to use the expression "took X knockback" where X is the number of tiles displaced.

Knockback calculations are performed as follows:
* Damage source changes the amount of damage required per tile of knockback.
** Melee weapons never cause knockback
** Most ranged weapons require 12 points of damage per tile of knockback
** Shotgun weapons and explosions (as well as the direct explosive missile) require 7 points of damage per tile
** [[Rocket launcher|Rocket jump]] explosions require 2 points of damage per tile
* Any knockback modifiers affect the overall knockback rate.
** If wielding the [[Butcher's Cleaver]], [[Longinus Spear]], or [[Dragonslayer]], any knockback taken is halved.
** If a player has taken the [[Traits#Badass|Badass]] Trait, reduce the number of tiles knocked back by two.
** Any number modifiers due to [[armor]] affect knockback as a percentage (100 + modifer), which then rounds to the nearest tile for knockback purposes.
