Hold "E" , can you remove that? | Forums

[ProfessorCookie]

To grab someone, you have to hold "E" and it takes like a second. Which wouldn't really be an issue, but when the guy you're grabbing, has a gun. It sort of is a pain? As he kills you on that 1 second if you play on Extreme.

Anyway to change to just "Press" E

So you're trying to attack someone in melee who is wielding a gun and has spotted you?

Why do you think that should work?

[ProfessorCookie]

If you have to grab him, because mission tells you to. Sometimes a mission goes wrong, and they get alerted, as I'm playing with friends. You can't harm him, you just have to go up and grab him, which means that holding E in front of a guy with a rifle, isn't really lovely

Tajin go to sleep, ur drunk. Melee is the F key and ProfessorCookie clearly states he wants to grab the guy, not melee him.
Any way I would recommend observing for the guard's patrol pattern and use a little more caution. It's better to let the guy go to a secluded area by himself
(and maybe "help" him with a diversion grenade or the noisemaker drone) rather than grabbing and taking him there yourself...

[ProfessorCookie]

It's more the situations, where they hear you, but you already killed so many thats it's just him left. So no reason to restart a mission, where you just have to grab the guy and be done. But he shoots 24/7 and if you get shot, he literally shoots you down in that short 1 second you hold E (Because alerted)

Tajin go to sleep, ur drunk. Melee is the F

Doesn't matter, the situation is the same.

Point is, if you have to get close to someone who has a gun, don't approach him openly from the front. you have other options.

- wait till he turns around or moves, then surprise him
- distract him
- use a flashbang
- supress him
- ...

As I mentioned above; you should work around this problem by not getting to it. Throw a frag or flash nade, use drone or whatever.
In case you don't even need to hide his body just bash him to hell with the F key. In any case, if you're playing on extreme then you just have to deal with a lot of dying,
even if not always logical.

As stated, it's best not to get into that situation, but since plans rarely survive first contact, I understand that's a poor argument. So, if solo, unlock and use a flashbang. If you're with friends, someone can flank around while the guy's shooting at someone else. There are solutions, even when things get messy--they just often get more difficult to execute.

You can use an EMP drone to disable the vehicle, and the VIP will stuck in his getaway trying to start the engine, and now you can walk up gently and grab him out of the car, and stow him in a whatever seat in a vehicle nearby, turn around and shoot down all enemies, and then grab the VIP out and start interrogate him.
