Killing the captain is useless? | Forums

[zWolfi]

I thought killing the captain suppose to make some enemies surrender. But instead of surrender they run and gun at me...
I took my time try to stealth and kill the captain but look like it a waste of time
Its this a bug or killing the captain is basically pretty pointless now...

If its really useless then please don't mislead us with this

you know I've got over 150 hours logged on this game and I really don't think it matters, sure once and a while a sicario will surrender, but never have I seen enough of them surrender to be a viable strategy, and also what are you supposed to do with surrendering enemies, arrest them? I usually just end up knocking them out

[zWolfi]

It increases the chance they'll surrender but it doesn't mean they all insta surrender.

I know but the chance suppose to be higher
Especially for stealth
Like if u able to grab the captain, u can tell the captain to order some of his men to move away far or do something with it
Not easy to grab the captain in stealth

they talk about this in the strategy guide alot as being super useful, however I have not noticed it do anything. people only surrender when they are last and alone, but who wouldn't and how does this have anything to do with killing the captain?

It does nothing at all as far as I have noticed. Either when in stealth or when going loud, the end result is the same. Killing the captain does nothing at all.

I do try to take him out first regardless though, just out of sheer enjoyment of feeling that it actually plays a role.

It stops him from jumping in a heli or convey during a side mission. That's about all its good for.

Flashbang them. I have people surrender all the time. And zWolfi who says it's supposed to be a higher chance?

When you aim at him a tool tip appears sometimes stating that if you kill him enemies are more likely to surrender.

Must admit, only time this has "worked" for me is if I go in loud and aggressive unfortunately

I know right. Doesn't change anything to really, and I hate taking people captive and only option is to knock them out which kills them? It's stupid. Let me use a knife Melee on them. I don't get the kid glove crap they have

[zWolfi]

Well sure. If they don't know you're there, why would they surrender?

That's why they should add something like interrogate to tell his lackeys go away
Tbh the interrogate system is pretty bad... Only work for side mission and get intel

I've found that if I kill the captain(s) then the rest are unwilling to search anymore
